@bernardchickey Why? 1. Because businesses are not especially skilled to manage an economy as is promoted. 2. Employers know that property is where the real money is to be made in a "housing market with bits tacked on" economy.

122 years ago today, Oscar Wilde, one of the most celebrated and beloved writers of his day, died a convicted criminal and penniless exile in a run-down hotel room in Paris, aged just 46. This thread explains why — and what we can learn from his example.

We can spend a lot of time wondering whether or not we should be with a given person. But to cut through our doubts efficiently, we might consider our responses to 7 very short statements designed to highlight the extent of two people’s compatibility.

One of the great paradoxes of mental life is we’re often unable to access our true feelings about important matters. We settle, in haste or fear, on the obvious answers. We ignore deep truths first and foremost because we aren’t trained to solicit them. youtu.be/cCnh2TWMhfw

NZTA has just released its draft Speed Management Plan which proposes to slow the speed limit down on State Highways all across NZ. Quite simply Labours plan is to slow New Zealanders down rather than to invest in our roads to make sure they are safe to drive on.
