Quite common

Wherever there's a modicum of market freedom it's the same thing.



Actually, the production of food has never been higher, and the number of hungry has plummeted over the last few years: http://ourworldindata.org/data/food-...ernourishment/

What's changed is the price of the exports Venezuela relies on. If there's a lesson there for us it's "don't put all of your revenue eggs into one commodity basket".

That, and keep the state's sticky fingers out of businesses responsible for the national revenue stream.

Nothing to do with Exxon and the manipulation of those markets

But you are right about this bit

A diversified market . .society is a lot stonger and healthier

Hows aucklands super city going these days

You do know what a socialist is . . .

Not the ones that called themselves socialist
but have a glorious leader such as UNZUD


Now not saying that someone has been saying something along the lines of the following for some time and I dont want him to get too excited but . . .

Snip, . . In political and social sciences, communism (from Latin communis – common, universal)[1][2] is a social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose ultimate goal is the establishment of the communist society, which is a socioeconomic order structured upon the common ownership of the means of production, absence of social classes, money,[3][4] and the state.[5][6]

Pretty good, I've used the electric trains a few times to go to the office in town from home.
Lots of good food places around the old Chief Post Office, used to work there in the early 80's now its a train station.
I've gone from a $200K house to a $800K without moving, its still a horrible un-insulated 50's bungalow. Rates are now $2500 a year, but hey Len needs it to fund his underground.
Once Sh16 tunnel is finished there will be an extra couple of hundred car spaces on the roads.
Thanks for asking.

I was based in Auckland during the late 1950's/early 60's - Then Mayor, Sir Dovemyer Robinson was trying to implement plans to counter Auckland's problems then!

That's how backward Aucklanders are - only just catching up now - and dragging their arse as usual! - Nice area though - spoiled by too many self interest people!

Oh and NZ's first 'dry' bar opened a few weeks back, closed last weekend due to lack of patronage.

Was reading in the paper..well the screen, that there is a drift of head offices to Auckland from Wellington, with the average house now nearing a million who would move here?

Still when China has its 1929 things will change.

That called urban drift

Jim Mora on national radio had a guest on about it a few years ago
Basically the computer has made info easier to crunch and theres a lot more of it so that tends to consentrate people . . Which then snowballs and you get tokyo london but not Ranfurly
So you see the hollowing out of countries
