no, no, no. I'm all about individual rights! Each person, whatever their sex is, should have the right to work at a place if they are as qualified as other candidates. If there's a lady who wants to land a job at Child Care Center

not to mention how hard it is for gays to land a job in early years education. So backwards! The worst are these mothers. Once they see a male working in a Child Care Center there is going to be lawsuit, that's for sure. Gay male emplo

The difference is we all need to pay for public sector mistakes. We are all forced to pay for them. Poor, rich, doesn't matter. And the amount of money in public sector is much higher almost by definition. In private sector, let's

Inflation is at 5-10% if we measure it the same way we have always measured it till Reagan times. Then the Government started cooking books, but if we agree to use the same formula to calculate inflation as the one we used before 1990s, we

If interest rates are at 7% (savings account returns you 7% annualy) who will invest in risky start-ups? If you can just go to a bank branch deposit cash and get back 7% -- are you going to go and invest in Uber instead? Really? Because it

If it would be such a big problem for Big Pharma they would stop selling drugs in NZ. Just to set an example for other countries if not for anything else.

It is true in American culture. It is not true in European (not sure about Asian) culture. Try putting your shoes on the table in Europe at the same time claiming credit for someone's else work in Paris or Berlin. The difference is a
