Ageing New Zealand Workforce 2015

Posted 25th August 2015 to Nine to Noon, Radio New Zealand

 The Over 65s hogging the Jobs was foreseen when Roger Douglas killed off the apprenticeship requirements for State owned businesses...
Private enterprise is just living off the pre Douglas fat we had in the system , one day soon that’s going to run out...
Our Government is also living of the fat from volunteers who still believe in the old days when we all worked together as a Nation.
We use to give the Young People a Leg up into Work and in return get more Leisure time for the Older workers... All that nice stuff we use to do has gone down the gurgler
In this brave New World we have now.

Geneva Convention for the Poor - New Zealand

Posted 23rd of July 2015 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ

Looking at the way our Politicians are Treating citizens who can’t hold down good paying jobs
It starts to make one think... They have less rights than POWs under the Geneva Convention
If we as a nation deprived captive combatants of things to sustain their lives we would be in trouble
Would we not? Capitalism is a bit like WAR because there are people who get wounded and traumatized
And just plainly DAMAGED.
If you ever have the Misfortune to land outside ones Middle Class Bubble it’s clear there is a lot of suffering about
Especially if People get a little Sick. Yes the System will look after a person if they simply are unable to move , but if you can
Then all support can be withdrawn at any moment unless you can find a way to get a bed at one of Her Majesty's Prisons  

John Key is no War Criminal but his Government is starving the Nation to feed Auckland, that Might not be outright Killing People
But wanton Neglect IS also a crime especially when it’s done to hold onto power. Or am I mistaken? Perhaps the Geneva Convention only applies
To German National Socialists of the 1940s? Not modern Corporate Socialists..

Austerity Greece & New Zealand - ODT

Posted 14th of July 2015 to the Otago Daily Times Newspaper Dunedin NZ

 It seems there is a Time in every great Civilization where the People Turn against each other
The Situation in Greece is very sad, Austerity is going to mean the people on the bottom of the Heap are pushed over the edge
As there is no way they can pay the Debt. New Zealand has the Same Problem with It’s poor or unfortunates they are on WINZ Life support
And we are cutting them down with Austerity too.  Somehow if the System Fails People it’s Their Moral Fault Houses are unavailable and our Jobs can’t pay the Bills
And we should let them perish without a care or even a passing bit of worry that any of us can become invisible if our luck runs out.

I feel Sorry For poor old Charles Darwin, as an Empathic Person he would be mortified  that people call it call it Social Darwinism.

Oddly it is counter to Capitalism to have a Large Market proportion that can’t afford to Consume Goods and fulfill their roll in society.
So what is the Driver Here?
