J Key appointed to the Air NZ board is reported as saying recently on Newstalk ZB "For Air New Zealand, it's always been about two things: innovation and the experience. It's about New Zealanders feeling some sort of ownership over the airline." http://www...

Thanks, but no need to apologise. I did not intend to misconstrue your comments.
The US is an abstraction, not a concrete reality. The ICC prosecutes individuals, not states. Yes, governments support arms industries, but are not essential to their existence. Labelling Trump, Netanyahu, Putin and Xi Jinping as "nasty people" is ...
So you agree with what I wrote ?
The people who design, manufacture and sell weapons are ultimately responsible. No arms industry, no carnage. You and others write about events as though they are due to the actions of states, avoiding the fact that they are due to the actions of people. ...
Reading with discrimination to me means reading writers with different points of view. The Pilger interview shows his anti US bias. I chose the article because it exposes this.
David Hutt shows in this article how Pilger consistently glosses over China’s past crimes while dwelling on America’s. http://thediplomat.com/2016/12/the-trouble-with-john-pilgers-the-coming-war-on-china/
Tourist and passenger transport. Promote it as romantic, which it is. Pioneering infrastructure in iconic landscapes, tradition, gorgeous mysterious fellow passengers pass in the night, a first class compartment, fine dining on the Raurimu Spiral, romantic...
How on earth can a 30 year prediction be believable ? If predictions for the 20th Century are anything to go by. Admittedly predictive accuracy has probably improved, but 30 years ? http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=89969
I thought that if consumers were reluctant to spend, sellers would lower prices and so reduce inflation. Your posts are eye opening. It looks like it is known what effect various government policies will have on wages and employment. I'm waiting for Labour...
Thanks for this. If we had full employment with high wages and the wages were saved rather than spent, would that reduce the inflation effect ? The savings pooled and invested in education and new, environmentally sustainable, high wage paying enterprises....
To Nic the NZer. Apologies in advance for this, I'm no economist and am very concerned at the wealth divide. "money as well as debt sit in the liability side of the government accounts (and money and government debt are both assets of the non-government)."...
Data on British population genetics suggest he could be <50% Anglo-Saxon. "The majority of eastern, central and southern England is made up of a single, relatively homogeneous, genetic group with a significant DNA contribution from Anglo-Saxon migrations (...
My concern is how "the long-term financial and sustainability challenges facing New Zealand" are defined. A prospective government needs to spell out clearly what they think the challenges are and why. They also need to clarify why they recognize only ...

Goering was not Hitler's appointed successor. "Hitler appointed the following as the new Cabinet and as leaders of the nation: President of the Reich (Reichspräsident), Minister of War (Kriegsminister) and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy (Oberbefehlshaber ...
John remembers his mother's Viennese Jewish background and determination and push for her children to get ahead, but no mention of dad. He's squarely in the tradition that you either honor or dishonor your parents and honoring them (one of them in his case...
Net gain in migrants Feb. 2017 year 71,300. I've personally met scaffolders, painters, Lab Technologists, a Doctor and sat with the Indian hospitality trainees on the train. The locals have either left or are not motivated or trained to do these jobs. http...
Oil prospecting, not oil drilling and fracking. They're afraid of the temptation of an oil bonanza in the backyard.

I reckon it's a joke. Homosexuality hasn't been a mental illness since 1987. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/hide-and-seek/201509/when-homosexuality-stopped-being-mental-disorder A "date" with a young nurse. There should be a movie.
Whatever evidence Merkel finds in his conduct she will use to promote Germany's interests. She has the skills and experience. As for Trump ? We'll have to see.
