Some of the worthies as I attempt to get the tabs down to a more manageable level...
- Michael Reddell keeps documenting the problems at RBNZ. They make stuff up when reporting to the Finance and Expenditure Committee. "But it gets harder to believe such a pro-incumbent bias is playing no part (consciously or unconsciously) in their words and actions."
- Most polled restaurant owners would make covid-infectious employees show up to work. Great advertisement for restaurants.
- If a rezoning increases your property value by more than 7 times, then either council's supplying free-to-users infrastructure that ought to be covered by charges on users over time, or it isn't zoning anywhere near enough land, or both.
- One reason for crypto-regulation: add a large fixed cost to a low marginal cost service to protect incumbents.
- A link tax won't save the newspaper industry.
- Helen Clark chats Ukraine war with Australian defence expert Mick Ryan.
- NZ's alcohol licensing authorities still are J-Curve deniers.
