A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year… And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0 And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

Australia ahead of the game on addressing issues in the #housingmarket @NZGreens @nzlabour the value uplift of rezoned land needs to be taxed.
A few weeks back I posted about why NZ should introduce a Development Rights Charge https://t.co/j4YJbedOhZ. Today, Victoria announced it’ll introduce exactly that (they call it a windfall gains tax), plus other decent tax reforms. Get moving NZ #auspol #nzpol #DaisPartners

I say put the vaccine patent in the creative commons with a non-commercial licence that bars profiting from it. Then order all pharma companies to manufacture it and sell at cost.
Pfizer expects to take $4 billion in profits from sale of its coronavirus vaccine. Other vaccine providers have said they will sell it at cost and/or not enforce IP. https://t.co/chMS8Q8UcT

It never ceases to amaze me that NZ is one of the only countries doing widescale bottom trawling in the South Pacific, bottom trawling which systematically destroys the coral on the ocean floor. It is a heartbreaking stain on our country's reputation for 'caring'
Corals are even more amazing close-up.

The graph that shows working hard doesn't equal getting ahead. The meritocracy doesn't exist. If it did, the blue would align with the red. 0=equal 1=unequal
When you measure productivity differences between workers objectively (i.e. not in terms of income), they cannot explain differences in income. This should be part of Econ 101 ... but it's not because it would undermine the whole course. Details: https://t.co/m2XandlUdu
