Envirologue: The Agony of Vanuatu and…, in reply to TracyMac,
Same sort of cost-benefit structure as Pascal’s Wager
(though that might not be the specific case you were thinking of, since its setup specifically excludes any possibility of actual knowledge concerning the outcomes). -

BJ: There you go wallpapering over my mistakes again.Yeh… I did think of commenting myself,

I think it's more that the price paid has to reflect the true cost of production. That may indeed mean NZ and foreign dairy consumers have to pay more; and the price increase may decrease the demand.

Legal Beagle: Update on the Former MP's…, in reply to marty,
in 2014 (the year that it went to a lowest cost airline) … it cost more than it did with airnz the year before,
If the former MPs are not doing the same total amount of travel in each year compared, then the comparison is rubbish: it only shows there is no necessary relationship between the maximum available perk, and the actual advantage taken of it by these spongers in any one year.

OnPoint: Leviathan, in reply to 81stcolumn,
what qualifies one for investigation
The radical protesters standing there shaking their fist
We've got them on our list.
And the marijuana advocates who're permanently blissed
We've got them on our list.
And anyone who questions why we're tapping all your phones
And intercepting emails, and surveilling your homes
And every other spying act on which we must insist?
We put them on our list.
You know you're on our list. -
