some random musings; the alt-right has grievances which are often legit (ex-the hatred and bigotry) and which are typical left grievances.. no idea why they identify as right (proly the hatred and bigotry) 'social' solutions used to be both right wing and ...
the land all belongs to the queen anyways... we only have titles issued for certain limited rights over tiny wee individual bits of it ... dunno why we always think "ownership" means actual ownership.. all we have are a few rights issued by the crown ...
it shouldn't be.. that is how the current system was established for the whiteys of course wasn't it... when the british crown nationalised the entire country from tangata whenua back in the 1840's.... just requires some thinking my friend
yeah nah, seen it all before... investors come out of the woodwork and suddenly there is no supply... couple years later investors have all left the market and there is ample supply with dropping prices.. the population doesn't change... same number of ...
in fact it shouldn't be called a Housing Crisis, it should be called an Investor Crisis, for that is what is causing the problem
there is no supply problem, there is only a demand problem a little over a year ago there was pretty much no demand the population hasn't changed

people who rail against "socialism" are brainless. Everything is socialist. Society doesn't exist without it. Humans are nothing but social - we are the most social creatures there are. We do everything together. We come together to achieve a goal - this ...

Big move Bloody excellent move Nanaia is a star Together with the other female leaders traipsing the global stage these days, and showing a different way of going about things, it feels a new paradigm is slowly arising. All power to these women (but don't ...
"If only the PM could accept large increases to wages and benefits." Link benefits and minimum wage to house price inflation Job done Entirely justifiable
yep, more and more of our society becomes 'financialised' and hence subjected to an interest charge. we should look seriously at the reasons debt and interest are illegal and immoral in other societies. Most people have absolutely no idea this idea even ...
High capital values help nobody Except lenders Go ask yourself Imagine how wealthy we would all be If our homes cost very little And our businesses The amount of money left in our back pockets would be unfeasibly higher.... High capital values help nobody ...
Sure, sometimes rescuers get lost themselves. That is part of it. My point still stands though - employers and PCBU's are not appropriate to be leading these situations. Neither are Police (earthquake, Pike River, mosque). I think this whole area needs ...
Yes Ad I know what a PCBU is - I am one myself. You miss the whole point, and download the expected hand-wringing Wellington bureaucrat response - I was expecting it. Well done. And that's it - you are one of those people ok with watching people get ...
Of course, Pike River, that very lamentable ode to everything governmental-regulation - neoliberal and hand-wringing
I complained bitterly at the time about the fact that "health & safety" stopped people being rescued from the rubble after the Chch earthquake. People died because of it. Nobody was found alive after about 24 hours - compare that to so very many other ...
yeah nah we are kinda sailing past each other adrian... i certainly aint a perpetual complainer, but I do not like the hypocrisy of free market business people who abandon the free market principles when suits, particularly when it works to keep wages low....
Jacinda is a chicken when confronting the forces of so-called capitalism- book book - it will be her downfall
" give thanks for these people who come here from less fortunate countries to increase both our well being"... except that they don't increase our well being, they drive down wages. "That's over at least $50,000 a year"... no it isn't, it is $35 /hour for ...
Through this action New Zealand's labour government has driven down the income and prosperity of our lowest paid, and acted against the interests of the working people. The whole situation is appalling and stinks. Make these crappy businesses meet free ...
David Seymour on foreign workers ... "“There are local industries crying out for a workforce they can’t find here and workers in Pacific Island countries with very little, if any, Covid-19 crying out for work." David, have you not heard of the free market?...
A general truth about society and the wealth it produces... (repeat, sorry)... Push the wealth down and society strengthens and prospers Push the wealth up and society weakens and fails Here endeth the truth
Yes Adrian, I have seen this in the past when people from cities and bigger towns have descended on smaller more isolated towns and bought up. Locals thought great, my house price has gone up. A few months later, when the excitement has passed (which it ...
I'm in business and have been for some decades now. It is better, far better, for my business if the lower rungs of society are strong and prosperous, as I have many buyers. It is absolutely no good if they are weak and struggling, because I just dont have...
this is a sure fire way to rattle the cages and kill two birds with one stone: tie minimum wage rises to house price rises...
Labour and Jacinda wont do a dot about housing inflation, and they will get taken down in flames with it when the market collapses... the problem is in fact too big for even government imo... which problem is the financial system ... not the RMA, not ...
