David 'Well, that’s easy. Women simply put a higher value on non-financial rewards than men do' Bless!
Hi David A market mechanism won't work to yield an optimal outcome if there is distortion from systematic bias. Gender discrimination is one such bias. An example for you: why is economics dominated by men? Turns out that when women coauthor with men, ...
For what it's worth, I like the pictures. Daesh are pompous arseholes who take themselves very seriously. Ridicule is good and Duckface travels well. I hope the victims of their shitty behaviour get to see it and get a laugh out of it. I do have a problem ...
Bring Back Antitrust Despite low inflation and some bargain prices, economic concentration and novel abuses of market power are pervasive in today's economy—harming consumers, workers, and innovators. We need a new antitrust for a new predatory era. David ...
'Isn’t it a recipe for NZ being forever locked into the position of economic backwater…?' As things stand now, New Zealand is a small state up against a federation of states. If we were to join, New Zealand would be a state among states. That's a big shift...
It's about time we reviewed the entire agreement with Australia. It was written up a long time ago and we should be asking whether it's still fit for purpose.
Many of them are not serious offenders. New Zealand kids who grew up in Australia can't get into further education or job training after they leave school. There's no safety net for them. If there was trouble at home eg sick parents themselves out of the ...
Many of these people were imprisoned for short sentences for relatively minor convictions that add up to a year. It's the sort of thing that happens to people who are outside the system, like kids of New Zealanders living in Australia, and who have no ...
The cost of manufacture for the last tablet is $1. The parallel imported tablet costs around $10 Gilead's tablet costs $1,000 Gilead has already recouped the $11 billion that it paid for Pharmasset.
The FixHepC Buyers Club doesn't buy drugs, it tests them. http://fixhepc.com/blog/item/16-testing-provisions-patient-safety.html http://fixhepc.com/getting-treated/supply-chain-integrity.html
Gilead, the company asking us to pay $1,000 a tablet is not the company that did 'actual work involved in figuring out what to put in the tablet. The company that 'figured out what what the tablet needs to have in it' was Pharmasset. They did that figuring...
This is what it has to do with TPPA: "It's possible and in fact highly probably that patents will run for a little bit longer and that means the Government will have to pay for the original drug as opposed to the generic for a little bit longer," Key said ...
Oops - here's the Sydney Morning Herald link: 'Dallas buyers club' site for hepatitis C drug inundated with inquiries http://www.smh.com.au/national/health/fixhepc-the-buyers-club-for-hepatitis-c-drug-inundated-with-inquiries-20151002-gjzud9.html via @smh
The Fix Hep C Buyers Club About 50,000 New Zealanders have hepatitis C, a blood-borne virus that causes inflammation of the liver. Long term about 10% of people with Hepatitis C will die of complications including cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. ...
Cameron's previous tweet also worth thinking about: 'we won't just balance the books, we will lay the foundation for the most radical and most progressive government of our times. (2/2) (https://twitter.com/David_Cameron/status/642310134400700416?s=03)
Hanging out with Mum and/or Dad is always good. You don't get that time back, ever.
The ride from Mt Eden Prison to Ngawha takes nearly 4 hours - half a day. That's how long it took private sector contractor Serco, greedy for profit - to literally transfer its risk back into the public sector. This is awful. My thoughts are with Nick ...
Indeed. It should be on camera.
Not new from the Herald, and not confined to its gossip columnists either. Heres a headline they came up with for the death of Samoan mother Folole Muliaga in 2007: Keep smokers and fatties out: doctors http://article.wn.com/view/2007/06/29/Keep_smokers_...
So let me get this right. Chooky Are you Trevor Mallard, or are you Clayton Cosgrove?

Andrew Geddis comments: Under the Act in question, a lease of more than 50 years is a "disposal" of land that then triggers the right of first refusal provisions. And how much will people pay for houses on land that they won't have a right to for more than...
Conventional business school advice for dealing with psychopaths is to learn as much as you can from them, that is if they have anything to offer, and then get out as fast as you can. Don't ever try to beat them at their own game. My own experience with ...
fisiani - pull the other one - did you just make a little joke? ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Agree. Tousling kids' hair, kissing babies, being a patronising coot - all part of the job of being a politician, more so for Prime Minister. But it has to stop when they signal that they don't like it - and Key doesn't appear to have got that message, ...
Is she never going to work again and never have any career ever? Really? Here's what we've learned about Amanda Bailey: - She writes well; from her writing we can see that she thinks clearly. - She has a positive and friendly attitude. - She's decisive - ...
Also, all the money that government collects in taxes gets spent. The difference is what it gets spent on, whether it goes on goods and services that people choose as individuals, or on goods & services that we choose collectively through a political ...
Consider this, then. Businesses are about doing stuff to make a profit. You only pay tax if you've made a profit. I don't understand why you think that's a problem.
It's political because John Key is the Prime Minister.
srylands, you think it's trivial, I think it's a massive error of judgement - but let's put this aside for a moment. Key is now the object of global attention. Newspapers all over the world - from Delhi to New York - are reporting that he pulled the hair ...
