about fudging the stats on how many doses have been delivered.
the government agenda that they have of certain groups simply dying. if the government thought it could get away with it.
and them needing to put vaccines in arms for some pretendance of civilisation for international community purposes.
so they'll give 2+ 3+ etc doses to the ashley bloomfields while withholding vaccines from certain other groups.
cry 'wah wah wah the anti-vaccine propaganda is responsible for the fact that we chose to withhold vaccines from certain other gruops. it was that they didn't want them not that we refused to offer them vaccination times that were suitable for them given how many hours we force them to slave in certain locations'
etc etc etc.
but, of course, it's all documented.
when they searched on their computers. what times were offered to them.
the times that were offered to various others.
the doses that were given without booking times.
so what? so what! what you gonna do about it? ! hahahahhahahahahaha!
cannot do business with new zealand.
yeah.

so apparently the government supplied whatever whatever in extra funding that was supposed to be ring-fenced for more permanent full time nurses to be employed in the hospitals.
and apparently it was frustrating... that they only used about 1/2 the money to employ only about 1/2 as many permanent full time nurses than they were supposed to... and that the rest of the money was (very inefficiently) used to pay temp agencies and to pay overtime.
i imagine the situation goes like this:
there are a few nurses employed full time. with job security. they keep that number low so as to improve their position. then they can offer as much overtime as they want to themselves.
they can also hire temp staff from temp agencies. get them doing the unpleasant jobs or the backbreaking jobs or both. treat them like crap and they'll 'yes sir no sir anything you say sir' if they want to get to work any more shifts at all. oh yes they will... slaving for the chance or whatever for a permanent full time posting where they can treat someone like crap and have them be all 'yes sir no sir anything you say sir'...
that... treating people perceived below you like crap... i think sometimes that's the... ethics test. that the superiors need. they need to see that in you. your potential for that. to do that. before they will allow you to join them. you are just like them, you see. one of them.
anyway...
i think that's the thing of it.
they do simply refuse to hire more permanent full time nurses. the nurses, i mean to say. they won't do it. they want to keep their overtime options. that's made nursing financially... quite good. for a few. with those options. if they want to do the overtime and they can get the shifts... and it isn't such a bad job when they can... sit in the nurses station and get the temps doing the work, even.
so they don't publically advertise the jobs. or they are full of excuses about why those candidates are not eligible for the job. why they can't hire them. they say that they don't get people applying but they won't publically advertise, they won't process their applications, they throw them away on arbitrary grounds and say they 'aren't eligible'. like they do for university and everything else. only enrol the people who cheat and lie and so on becuase we are rule of law (yeah right). sure we are. course. absolutely. you can read it in the judgements of the courts. you can read it in the lack of consequences and lack of sanctions in the judgements of the courts.
justice does not live, here.

so it's all arbitrary. they just pick who they want for whatever they want and what are you going to do about it?? that's just life. that's just the way it goes.
and the thing of it is just that their choices are insane.
they certainly aren't selecting on the basis of merit. or capacity. or anything like that. that doesn't appear to factor or feature at all.
and it isn't that the people lack the capacity to identifiy it or to know it when they see it... it isnt' that at alll. becuase of how resolutely they set about excluding those who do have merit or capacity.
higher than chance.
like the ethics thing. it isn't that they lack the capacity to identify what the morally right thing to do is. it is that they intentionally set about selecting the psychopaths.
i think it is about insisting that new zealanders be criminals. the ideal to make criminals of us all. to force criminality as the only option. the only way of life. to have people branded. in a harness racing brand a number on their neck kind of a branding i mean to say. property of the new zealand government. that kind of branding.
put to immoral work because there really wasn't any other kind.
or excluded because of the choices that other people made.

i wondered why the grading situation deteriorated.
why they paid tutors less and less and less to grade.
what the point of it was, to basically...
to basically...
convey that they didn't care at all if you simply flung them down the stairs and handed out grades according to how far they flew...why there was no training on how to grade fairly (how to employ a fair process)
why there was no pay associated with how long it was supposed to take.
i mean to say tutors were not paid reasonably for the number of hours.
i mean to say the number of hours you were paid for was not enough hours for you to grade things properly.
becuase it was not a priority of the university that things be graded properly.))
there was a deterioration.
because early on...
i remember. i remember how it was.
i remember one of the tutors (unofficially) telling me that it would take me longer to do it than they would pay me -- but, you know... how would i ffeel if i was an undergrad and they didn't grade my work properly?
so...
and i do remember one of the lecturers (unofficially) telling me about turning back the cover sheet and blind grading everything.
and i do remember he wanted to see all the ones i thought should fail -- just to check that he didn't see any way to pass them, either.
in case i was missing something -- because i was fairly young.but those checks and balances fell by the way over the years.
that is to say the universities deteriorated. got worse.
they don't do the basic things that they used to do.
in new zealand i mean to say.______
i'm saying there are concrete and specific examples of how the univerisites in new zealand have gone down-hill. have gotten sh*tt**r and crappier than they used to be. have deteriorated.
they used to have things they don't now. they have been gutted.
___
i say that because i wonder.. maybe they always were sh*t and i just didn't see that...
likely there is some of that.
but there are also very concrete things to show that they are shitter than they used to be. for sure.
____
mostly it seems to be about preventing meritocracy.
so about scrambling things.
the content of biological science (particularly) is that they swamp / overwhelm with the volume of information.
and some kids do well because they were given practice with exactly that test.
that is to say their tutorials focused specifically on giving them repeated exposure to a pool of questions that the exam questions would be taken from.
whereas everyone else didn't have such focused content.also... arbitrary questions.
poorly written multiple choice.intentionally.
i remember quite a few questions were off in pathology at otago.
quite a few were off...and with those off questions... it comes down to 50:50 whether you get it or not (once you rule out the wrong answers).
and you count up how many off questions there are...
and you see how that randomises... shuffles... the grade distribution.
how likely it is that someone gets an A+. given the random element.
then distribute that across their degree...
and then GPA above a certain point proclaims you are a cheaty cheaty cheater. oh yes it does.
because it isn't plausible
___
which is why my grades don't count.
because they proclaim i'm a cheaty cheater. but i'm not. i earned my grades. but that's not how our universities work (or don't work. fail to work) anymore.
but i'm too old. i don't count. i'm eneligible. time to curl up and die, alex.
everyone my age in nz either was forced to flee (the great brain drain) else they grubbity grub grubbed their way into the money (not realising or caring how incopmetent they were and how much they hadh to learn before really ebign able to contribute) else they... well... just settle into the sh*t. yeah. just nestle into the sh*t, then.
f*ck*ng psyschopaths.

i suppose it is because, at university, you had roughly 3 kinds of people.
firstly, you had the people who weren't really that into it. the academics, i mean. they were doing it... but it was something to help them get their entry level job. they were into the social aspect. they were often working jobs while studying. they were sort of aiming to pass everything and get their degrees, but they weren't aiming to do very very well. they were not doing all the readings (where the workload was demanding, but reasonable). they were maybe taking a few classes off here and there... and they came through with b's and c's and they were happy enough for it. they got their degree as something to tick off their bucket list. they enjoyed the university experience. they got their graduation photograph etc. they maybe met their life partner at uni.
secondly, you had the people who wanted to learn more... who were more focused on their studies than on extra-curriculars... who worked harder.. for b's and a's. who realised that there wasn't a great deal in new zealand and so aimed to go overseas and continue studies there. USA was particularly a destination because of the 5 year PhD with 2 more years of course-work. because these people were well aware of how little they knew about things... how much there was to learn... they wanted to learn...
thirdly, you had people who wanted to climb their way up the hierarchy of life quick quick quick as you can. worked hard enough for b's and a's but really... you go to university at 18 and complete honors when you are 22 (4 years). then a B+ average gives you entry to PhD and a 3 year PhD makes you 25.
so the goal is to be a doctor by the age of 25.
then the money rolls in.
___
and of course the university will drag things out for another year (grading and re-submission etc etc) so you will be begging for them to sign you off when you are 26... and they will be berating you for how old you are...
but that was the plan.
they grubbed their way to 'doctor' at age of 25.
and then it became about grubbing up a management / administration hierarchy.
it doesn't matter what you are 'doctor' of, you see. you start doing some actual job and then it is abou taking your supervisors job... all the way up... all the way up the money tree.
---
those people.
and they are determined that that was the way.
their way.
the way.
otherwise... well... you snooze you loose hahahahha.
___
and then people come back from overseas... once they've learned various things from there...
but the people here (in power) won't acknowledge anything they've learned from overseas.
if you have qualifications from overseas they aren't acknowledged.
if you don't claim to have qualificications from overseas (but rely on people being able to assess your merits) then that isn't acknowledged either.the grubby grubs seized the power.
and i suppose their thing is that they know full well they wouldn't have gotten away with that anywhere else in the world.
___
love what they've done with the place
(yeah right)
thanks for letting me contribute.
no? thanks for forcing me to slave -- because you know better than me what my contribution must be forced to be. of course you do. you know everything. that's why you didn't need to learn anything more. you knew everything already. how the meaning of life is forcing everyone else to comply with your will. and you don't need to learn anything at all. just bide your time until you get to force you will on everyone else. until you don't. that' slife. nasty buruitish and short by your own making. talking about you. everything... all the things... so much worse.. for sitting around all day singing the praises of you.
sigh.

because of the money. the incentive structures of other countries are different.
australia is saying that the trouble is nz has a bloated civil service. everyone wants to become a manager or administrator for the government becuase that's where the money is. those are the highest paid jobs.
look at what the government chooses to spend it's money on. what it values. what it chooses to incentivise.
and the money goes to government administrators and managers.
so people flocked to there. you go to university so as to get an entry level job with a government department whereby you can get to work grubbing your way up the government management and administration hierarchy.
and it doesn't matter what degree you get. all degrees lead to the same end goal. grubbing your way up a government management and administration hierarchy.
___________________
and a consquence is that there really isn't anything to govern. administrate. or manage.
because only the chumps do the work on teh ground or the front line.
right?
the children. for a few years.
until they clue into the fact that they get their management and administration job.
so they work from home ordering the troops around. where the troops are aged 16-19 and are paid minimum wage for teenagers.
then it's all administration and management.

and there's the propaganda 'think tank' of course.
mini-lies. or whatever.
