This is the best article I have read anywhere for a long time. It should be top of mind for those trying to fix our wrecked education system.

@RH21156763 @nogulagsagain Life wasn't meant to be boring.

The handful of those are not the problem. The problem is the hundreds of thousands of the professional/managerial class either in or financially attached to the bureaucracy who produce nothing of value at best if not actually reducing value produced by others and are paid elitist sums of money extracted from more poorly paid private sector workers. That is the problem.

@SFHFWill @nogulagsagain Good points. Are the Nats utterly useless or have they done something good? Voters want to know.

@elonmusk I liked your fire 80% hire back 10% system better. But I guess the 1% would encourage the others after they had finished issuing orders to stop you firing any of them. But just arrest them for treason when they try to bar duly elected officials from carrying out their duties.

@AucklandIsland @MaikiSherman @Papaioeajake @1NewsNZ Muted for dishonesty.

@Excalibur890 @damienmgrant And the Pharmacy Council. They are all choc full of DEI fuckwits.

@DanBurmawy So now clean out Gaza and incorporate West Bank into a one state Israel solution.

RT @DanBurmawy: Listen up. I am Jordanian, and I tell you that the two-state solution is dead, stone cold. And I’ll tell you why. Back in…

@MatuaKahurangi What about old Dover from your patch? I suspect he has a sense of humour too?

@macramillion @aniobrien The essence of Marxism is creating class war. That's what racism is.

@SFHFWill @nogulagsagain Disappointingly close but distinguishingly less ghastly. Labour is the cancer. National is the placebo.

@sir_conspiracy @BartemyS @PM_ViktorOrban Of course not all women are like this but enough are to fill Parliament with meat heads.

@pope_netta @Jill06458741 @aniobrien Obviously living in remote areas is a barrier to employment. However even there in places like Whangaruru Maori grew water melon and sold them in markets in Whangarei.

@pope_netta @Jill06458741 @aniobrien Terrible. Maori MPs supported an Act to stop their people dying unnecessarily:

@pope_netta @Jill06458741 @aniobrien What law banned Te Reo in public places?

You are just wrong. 1898 Act: "The amount on offer was small. Applicants had to meet strict criteria to qualify for a pension of at most £18 per year (equivalent to about $4100 in 2023). Only those with an annual income of £34 ($7700) or less and property valued at no more than £50 ($11,300) received the full amount. Proof was required that the applicant was aged at least 65, although magistrates were allowed some latitude in assessing the age of Māori claimants whose births had not been registered. Applicants had to have lived in New Zealand for the previous 25 years. ‘Chinese or other Asiatics’ were specifically denied the pension, even if they had been naturalised and so were legally British citizens."

@RH21156763 @nogulagsagain I'm married to one. We are running a pharmacy, art gallery and 3 guest houses.

RT @AlanWilkinsonNZ: @MatuaKahurangi Correct. The Billy T James Memorial Trophy for the biggest tiki should become an annual Waitangi Event…
