do they think they represent the population of Dunedin? Who told you that? Sounds like you've been sold a lie.

[Berries]

oh stop yer whining... you gotta be a pom

No, English. Just pointing out that nobody down here really gives a shit about them. Probably 99% in fact.

Did you go out and count them yourself?

[Berries]

No. I really couldn't be arsed, just using the same made up 99% term seeing as I have never been counted. I don't know what they stand for and to be honest I don't care what they stand for. It just looks like R&R Sports are having a camping sale in town. And shit tents at that.

money quote

" Marx and the other old critics of capitalism complained that it was all about "capital exploiting labour".

Marx would probably be as surprised as the rest of us to learn that the modern version of capitalism has the workers exploiting the capitalists.

That is, the upper echelon of workers - the top 1 per cent and their acolytes - extract profits from the nominal owners of their businesses, the shareholders, as well as holding down the wages and salaries of middle and working class employees."

capitalism eating itself.....
