It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

The problem in NZ is too many Chiefs and not enough Indians.

the problem is people like you expect more but don’t want to pay for it
Is it bollocks.
The 'problem' is that most of us know when we're being ripped off, & annoyingly for the greeders, tend to get quite annoyed.
Most of us would prefer a fairer society.
in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)

My local supermarket is run by a Korean couple, so...
Funny thing though. My energy bill has doubled in a year. My grocery bill is up by about 30%. Fortunately there is room in my budget, it just means less discretionary spending. I know who is responsible, my vote next year will reflect that.
It's called consequences...

"lol first time ive seen it said theres not enough indians in NZ"
Red Indians from America are what is implied within the expression, don't be so literal.
Poor punctuation and a stupid joke based on misunderstanding what exactly is being said, typical right wing.
Why the right wing seems to think they can run a country because they can add and subtract, as in accounting for money, beats me. Their basic understanding of what life is essentially about flabbergasts me. Most of them seem to be acting at the lowest possible level of sentience possible. heisenberg is operating at a low level in my opinion and seems to think he is on top of it all, Alice can barely use the language.
"Sentience is the ability to experience feelings and sensations. It may not necessarily imply higher cognitive functions such as awareness, reasoning, or complex thought processes. Some writers define sentience exclusively as the capacity for valenced (positive or negative) mental experiences, such as pain or pleasure."

Inflation is about 25% if you go by the price increases in New World Waltham over the last year.
