Nobody has noticed that Question Four, in their own story that mentions impossible questions in exams, literally does not contain a question.

Yeah, there's a poo poo ton of coordination among markers to determine the correct marks whenever there's discretion in the question. They meet several times during the marking period, get check marked and so on. I guess you'd probably get achieved mark since the 'explain' indicates that the question is probably at a merit level IIRC.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/98652630/Heres-why-removing-tertiary-fees-will-make-inequality-worse In which we redefine "inequality" to mean "everyone receives the exact same benefit via their use of public services" and therefore tertiary fees actually make taxes fairer and reduce inequality quote:Alas, trusting people with their own money is usually a step too far for most governments. Ah there we go. quote:Therefore, government subsidies are effectively a regressive tax where the richest have their education subsidised by the poorest. In NZ, those who do not study at tertiary level miss out on approximately $1000/year (or $80,000 over the average lifetime) in government benefits. I know it's an opinion page but jesus Stuff.

He's not wrong that we should gently caress the rich, only that we should gently caress the poor in order to do so.

Apparently defence spending is a form of universal basic income that results in a transfer of wealth from the rich to the poor. Uhh... What? How did this person get an engineering PhD and two economic /financial postgraduate diplomas?

It's because the military gives the poors something constructive to do with their lives. I, for one, find it hard to believe an engineer has a poor understanding of how society works. Also, for the record, he does not have a post-graduate diploma in economics. He has a graduate diploma in economics that he did after receiving his phD, which is not the same thing. His 'financial planning' diploma is the standard Business Administration basically anybody who wants to run or manage a business, such as a bra shop, has.

Is it just me or has Paddy Gower gotten really lazy? His articles are often only about 100 words, and the writing is very poor. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between a sentence and a paragraph, it's like he just types up and publishes his notes

Depression is hell of a thing. Good that labour is increasing the mental health budget to help people just like him, not that he couldn’t afford his own treatment. He still has to front up to the problem that he is an ignorant dumbass .

Looks like TPP is dead, at least for the time being. It's a shame I think, if they'd managed to reach an agreement that didn't involve ISDSs it would've been good for NZ and a big win for the new govt.

Forgoing sovereignty of any sort to multinationals was stupid in the first place and no one could sell that. They poisoned what could have been an actual free trade deal. The most stupid part was our useless negotiators couldn't do the one thing they were sent for which was free trade on milk. Good riddance.

It's probably a blessing in disguise that we couldn't negotiate better trade with milk, the last thing we need is for dairy to become more attractive and lucrative, since that will strengthen fonterra and gently caress us even more environmentally, plus one of these days someone is gonna figure out synthetic milk and our dairy industry is gonna collapse.

There was an article floating around a few weeks ago about synth meat & milk and how Federated Farmers/Fonterra's (come on, they're basically the same anyway) official attitude was just "nah it'll never happen, lets convert some more farms" despite huge strides being made and a bunch of their own scientists/advisors begging them to take it more seriously.

That might be their public opinion but I know that they've been putting some real money into investigating if and how much it'll gently caress them.

Why the gently caress don't they put real money into how to exploit synthetic milk instead? What a waste. Every time I see a fonterra ad on telly, all I can think of is the price of dairy at the supermarket and how it got so expensive.

You would think the number of times the milk prices collapsed or fonterra shanked the farmers they would learn. But nope, lets drive ourselves into bankruptcy or working poverty in the hopes they get paid 100% more for taking the absurd risk by going 100%+ loan on a farm. The next jump in price brings in a bunch of new suckers to continue the cycle. Then they take too much water, poo poo on the environment that is supporting them and farm places that wasn't meant to support farming in the first place hence the "Cheap" price. Farmers are so stupid.

Whelp. I just had to explain to my Uncle why applying a flat tax fucks over the poor. Guy means well, though - he genuinely didn't think that a recessive tax would push people over into the 'Do I have food or power this week' boundary. Bit disappointing that it was an appeal to authority that won him over rather than rationale. As in he went "Oh, wait, you're an accountant. I guess you'd know about tax." Still, a good family meeting.

bike tory posted:Would you still get full marks in the first one if you didn't do a simultaneous equation? It seems like an unnecessary step since you aren't solving for two variables. That's a good question, and I'm going to say probably not. I would imagine that the point of that question was to solve the problem using simultaneous equations, so you would have to use them even if there was a better alternative. I definitely remember doing similar things back in fifth form, and hell, even in university. 1000 Brown M and Ms fucked around with this message at 10:11 on Nov 12, 2017 |

My son was heckled every day walking to his college over 20 years ago. He was called whitey, and a lot of worse names he didn't even know the meaning of. It was the first time he had encountered racial prejudice as he had a mixed group of friends at primary school and we had thought we all got along well. Silly us. Mmm. Good old reverse racism.
