Sad to see your drawing had sold out..

Yes it's regressive (for those watching people with lower incomes spend more %income, thus pay more GST as %income)
I see it as a solid part of an _almost_ well balanced tax system.
Company tax is a bit low (but has to be to compete internationally) and we need a proper capital gains tax.

The complexity costs more money than it saves. Deadweight loss. NZ gets rightly kudos for the efficiency of the GST system. Every time a party proposes a GST break on something or other they lose at the polls.

Gotta hand it to you

The best is arguably like Rio, London or Paris - where you get both lifestyle and amazing work. NZ would be more lifestyle, but as a relatively small outpost I'd imagine also getting decent experience at a country level for relatively junior roles. Being the only person here would be pretty amazing.

NZ's a great posting for US foreign service.

The one who wrote a book about conspiracy theories rather than the one who promotes them.

Epic. Triggering though .

I suspect he will rank #1….

This is an incredibly unprofessional show.

Yup. BMW could have (and could still) dominated the larger EV motorbike space. They are great at building heavy bikes that are easy to handle. (Meanwhile my CE04 is a giggle to ride.)

Nice answer - including if you only donate some, not all.

Yes there are not nearly enough of them, and yes, leasehold, but it does prove we can do it.

NZ can do it. This is the Parc, in Auckland city. It’s better as it’s completely enclosed so no concrete in the middle. The price is better too - but it’s leasehold.

Not good board meetings though..

Yes it's brutal.
At one end are the recruiters for entry level jobs, where they might get thousands of applicants, most of whom are at school and very hard to differentiate. It's impossible to interview them all.
At the other end headhunters are doing the same filtering, but nicer with it.

1: When you get hundreds of applications it's easy to filter out ones that are not in the top 20% of fit, and then it gets hard.
2: But the data lies too - I'm currently filtering Seek applications by reviewing PDFs downloaded from Seek, not by using the aged platform.
