Serephina posted:I agree 100% with what it's implying, but spidey sense is tingling and I'm wondering about selection bias; are free prescriptions handed out more often for less severe maladies, etc? the way i think about it is that people will argue against good thing x using studies that are just as - if not more - flawed as the study you're using to support good thing x so i no longer feel bad about picking one study that supports my argument, without knowing the quality of the study or how it fits into the broader research landscape

whoops, our important system that takes years to increase the number of qualified workers is falling apart due to chronic underinvestment for decades, and no one wants to start the long and expensive qualification needed to enter the field because they're not loving stupid oh well, nothing to be done. the only thing we can do now is privatize the whole thing

Content to Hover posted:Here's a fun article 'Staggering' rise in older Kiwis renting predicted it goes on to point out that "pensions were set at a level that assumed retirees owned their homes outright and did not have rent or a mortgage to pay". There is no cheap solution to this, so I can't see either major party seriously addressing it. im glad. it's only fair that everyone chips in to support our mum n dad landlords
