and its filled with small people.
having enough disposeable income to buy expensive toys does not alter the fact one whit.
We produce milk and wool and some other stuff and thats about it.
Import substitution was dreamed up in the 1930's byt the socialists in the NZ Labour Party, none of whom had ever run a business, and who thought they could thereby stymie the big boys and offer a countervailing power to the sheepocracy.
Nice dream but is has failed and always will fail.
No amount of TALKING about it will change anything.
Business in industrialised countries is a necessity to provide goods but here it is just a vehicle for people to psycholgically beat up on their peers because they have the economic power.
pretty crummy.
CKD car kits and a steel mill focussed on reinforcing rods is never going to turn this country into a manufacturing power house.
Unless the population of new zealand increases by a factor of about 20 then nothing will ever change and a quick look at Japan will show that population alone is not enough to keep the machine going.
And then it would just be another mac country anyway.
New Zealand is a small country filled with nincompoops with big ideas that are just that.
If all these bright ideas were brought to fruition the country would be a wasteland of heath robinson creations and poor people.
There is no critical mass.
plenty of critics but only a lumpen proletariat who think they are intellectuals because they magaed to answer a question on deal or no deal..
no mass.
The boosters who want to deny we are a small country are almost clinically insane and equipped with a massive inferiority complex to boot.
New Zealqand is where some drongo makes a small film and gets an award and then goes to L.A. and slags off Holywood.
Fuck we are tuff in New Zealaznd.
Yeah right.
And the commentariat in New Zealand are dummies raised beyond their station because they have the right haircut and teeth or have been proven to follow the right line.
They have no other qualifications except a pass in shorthand from some j-school established in the sticks.
They cant abide the thought that in the larger scheme of things they dont count for shit but while they have their hands on the media apparatus then we are condemmed to the worst sort of infantile wishful thinking and childish mewling for more toys.
If you go to Rock and Roll Schoold here they dont know who chuck berry or muddy waters or jimmy reed are but they all know how to play nature or take me to the april sun in cuba.
just pop fodder with no grunt.

Big ups for
Rosemary Mcleod on Her piece on Te Papa.
That is the perfect illustration of what I am talking about.
It is not really a museum.
Just another huge erection by a mental midget with the power and the latest house and garden catalogue.
Something shoved up to sell ice creams and a groovy restaurant so the upper classes (larffffs) can watch the peasants looking for some kulcha.
Well they aint going to find it at te papa.
Just more flashy crap that doesn't mean anything to anyone.
