I am not an economist... but that sounds absolutely bonkers right? Like, can someone explain this like I am an idiot? (I am) why there is a MINIMUM unemployment?

Neoliberal economies target 4% unemployment to curb wages. And then punish the unemployed.

Makes you wonder why pay is comparatively so low here for a lot of jobs. Sure some countries have far worse environmental protections and job safety laws and so on but there's plenty of money in NZ business. Are we all just too weak to negotiate better pay? I mean I know I am

We're maybe the premier global poster child for extreme neo-liberal reforms.

I've been on the holiday highway a couple times now and it is a big improvement; if you've never gone through the Warkworth junction you likely can't imagine how insane and bad it is. Cliffs falling on it soon is probably bad for the already dubious cost/benefit case though, I would imagine.

Ethnicity is useful. But if you want to argue that race is an important concept, go ahead.

exmarx posted:

ethnicity, like race, is an attempt to taxonomise people based on aesthetics. it considers a wider set of factors (like cultural practices, language, etc.), but only to provide more granularity within the same old race science categories.

it's socially constructed because the categories are totally subjective – why is geography/skin colour/religion the right lens? it's also 'real' (like race) because those social categories have material consequences in employment, the justice system, etc.

Bizarre post. Ethnicity is an explicit rejection of racist essentialism in favour of actual features like self-identification, language and culture.
