That is because the middle class is not a real thing. There are owners and not owners.

This list, while possibly out of date, is enlightening with respect to what industries might have people earning over 125k https://nz.visaenvoy.com/salaries-in-new-zealand/

bike tory posted:You missed "why should hard working middle new zealand have to pay more tax?" actually no it's not every pharmacy it's some pharmacies. I wonder how long till people know about it and use the scheme. we normally get paid peanuts for dispensing medications but get $25 for each of these consults. I won't get a pay rise

echinopsis posted:if you qualify for the community services card you should get it coz you can now walk into a pharmacy and get free liquid paracetamol and nit treatment and scabies treatment and eye drops and liquid ibuprofen but not paracetamol tablets or ibuprofen tablets and you can get free nit combs and syringes but not if you dont have a community services card but you can if you're maori or pacific islander or under 14 "hardworking middle new zealanders" are too rich for a CSC  That said, since I have one, how do I get my free poo poo?

I am sick. I need paracetamol liquid and a nit comb and a syringe. and then answer the questions ONE interesting thing is that we are not to police the CSC status or if you're maori/PI so you can just lie and say you are. strictly when we bring up an NHI it tells us what ethnicity someone is but I suppose we're not meant to question if their NHI ethnicity says NZ european or like chinese but they say they're maori the purpose is to steer people away from the ED departments

Yeah I imagine when people think ‘middle class’ they still think of the American nuclear family from the 50s - father working white collar job, owns own home and two cars. Where as someone who owns their own home and 2 cars these days is doing pretty well for themselves. kaiwero fucked around with this message at 20:50 on Jun 13, 2023 |
