It is complicated but never give management types the benefit of the doubt. I bet they are all on nz.managerforum.com talking about the best way to screw people over on holidays I mean minimise liabilities for shareholders

Slavvy posted:Where do you think all those Ford rangers come from? Just wanted to say that I often fall into this trap of being jealous of people with nice cars or boats when they are seemingly less well off than I am and I have a decade old car and think "How can they afford a nice car???". But more likely they are buying it with a loan of some kind and anyone in employment could have that nice car at least temporarily, and we just choose to buy an old car to save money

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

). NZ businesses and our economy in general don't have 'plenty of money' compared to Australia, they're a solid quarter to a third behind, same as our workers. Compared to who we think of as our peers (like CANZUK), we work significantly more hours for lower pay to make up for our abysmal productivity, and have local capital diverted to real estate or invested overseas out of lack of productive uses.

Always pissed me off when I would see a huge billboard of a real estate agent's face. Getting billboard money for being a glorified used car salesman

Seeing a lot of people on twitter saying something along the lines of "I thought I was well-off, but the greens plan will actually be a tax cut for me" so they really stopped most people from having any valid complaint about it

Wouldn't risk doing that kind of thing myself, but I'm not too surprised that the nz police massively blundered an investigation that was slightly more complicated than tasing somebody or playing demo derby

I tried to learn what "Identity Politics" means but all I've discovered so far is that it's another shorthand for "I'm racist". I agree with the most of what the greens are doing, we have to address race or other identity based issues if we want to have worker's rights and decent pay for everybody

Slavvy posted:This is structurally impossible because capitalism creates inequality as a basic function of itself, you literally cannot address this stuff in a meaningful way because it isn't caused by people just magically being bigoted but whatever I'm wasting my energy with this poo poo I agree with you, about capitalism. I still think it's good to not be racist in the meantime

It's cool how immediately after Labour announce they will do gently caress all, National shills go right back to accusing them of putting taxes up anyway. Especially when National want to raise taxes as well??

The amount of dogs roaming free around my neighbourhood is insane. I love dogs but I think if they escape too many times their owners should be fired out of a cannon. Also re nuts eugenicist takes, it's sad how many times people will straight up say to you "poor people shouldn't have kids" then act surprised when you tell them that's hosed up

Deep Glove Bruno posted:is standup crowd work really rough and unfunny in NZ? just judging from your story, and how my partner once got ripped to poo poo at a show till she left. her crime was sitting quietly and not laughing at stuff she didn't find funny. i only have those examples but i've literally never heard somebody talk about any other standup show in nz. a comedian once laughed at me cos I put my hand up instead of verbally answering "anyone here like thing"  it was a good show though

That reminds me, I heard some (primary?) teachers are moaning that their union payouts are being taxed at 50%. Anyone know why that would be, or are they just exaggerating because its 33% plus student loan and kiwisaver or something

Also it's a real sign how hosed our society is that teachers (while still underpaid) could easily be making 100k now which is a lot more than many other jobs. Purely because they are one of the few professions with a somewhat functioning union
