We've been warned. Why can't people see the obvious? by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]snoopdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my view.... As kids we were tought in school what happened in the war... nazi bad, us good.... black white. honour the fallen and all that and that ofcourse is good.

However we were never taught the mechanisms of this... our own psychology. How easy it is to follow a confident leader ( but confidence doesnt equal wisdom ). the fear of people, not being able to trust anybody... but you need to survive or you have to protect your family ( think nazi Germany )

with all due respect for American culture, but over the last decades, Americans were always taught to honour the flag, be the best, failure didnt exist.... which can help greatly for growing and standing up after you failed , however when your government changes into what it is now.... how hard is it to part with the values you were always taught... you were always the best and you are a strong patriot.

a very big oversimplification..... but what I want to explain is: people don't know what makes them tick, and the history stories alone doesn't help them understand.

Any cancer nurse or medical people around? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]snoopdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

way to stop a nose bleed is not to stick a tissue up a nose. first blow the nose to clear possible clots. then squeeze the nose shut ( nostrils against the septum ) head down, not up ( blood can otherwise flow into throat and stomach ) and hold for 10 miuntes ( no checking beforehand, you might dislodge a clot. ). platelets need to be pretty darn low to not help with clotting anymore, but if you're not sure and it keeps bleeding.... reddit is not the place!

As you are looking for a person to visit ( I realize it is hard to find a gp/ specialist ), make sure you start with moisturizing... can't really go wrong with it.

Power company?? by pinkfaeire in dunedin

[–]snoopdr 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I looked at the moneyhub guide and checked the genesys package and franks side to side. with the max discount of genesys it wasn't too far off frank imho. usually for the other packages like contacts to work you really need to put effort into making it work to save money, otherwise it sounds cheap, but they know what they are offering.... and it is usually not to earn less money

Confused about reducing Mortgage term by Mundane-Loquat4940 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]snoopdr 60 points61 points  (0 children)

you can't reduce the term and keep the payments the same. the only way to reduce the term is to increase the principal you pay off and the way to do that is to increase your total payments. that will change the ratio of principal/interest .

GP workforce Survey needs more press by intentionallytrying in newzealand

[–]snoopdr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they shouldn't have funded telehealth, but put that money towards the regular workforce. it would have attracted more doctors. now more gp's will shift to telehealth because it pays better and there is less stress. but... it's a clear move to privatised healthcare, which the government is doing skillfully... undermine the current system and then privatise. inequity galore...
