Perhaps there is someone actually interested in speaking about issues as opposed to "grand standing" or "watch wearing". To that person, in ignorance I ask the question: was Brave correct in his assessment of the five minute member speech rule? Or was the Speaker correct? I had the pleasure of watching the entire procedure (thank you, ZNS website) and thought the issue being debated was actually a legitimate one. Would have liked those clowns in parliament to address it, instead they made a mockery...much like these comments.
You can't cut civil service salaries (i.e. not meaning "double dippers"/ "contract workers", but true civil servants). You cut their salaries and the economy is absolutely finished. Cant believe people are still trying to justify this nonsense.
Mudda, as someone (you) who once had - maybe still do have - political ambitions, I strongly suggest that if you want to continue in politics that you surround yourself with a good economist. What you are proposing here (reducing civil service during a pandemic) is so contrary to hundreds of years of documented academic research. It is like suggesting that the earth is flat...no hyperbole. If you cut or reduce the civil service salaries, you will plummet your country into the dark ages. Crime, devaluation of dollar, hyper inflation (if we are lucky!) would all result. It appears that you are trying to be "political" and not "economic". Don't go down that road, my friend. Now, before you retort with a smart ass, "I know everything answer", I suggest you do some quick research to see if what I am saying is accurate. Then, happy to engage in a civil discourse.
There is nothing well or said about this. And, quoting Mudda on financial or economic matters is not the best strategy. You cannot "cut" civil service salaries. It will exacerbate the destruction of our economy and will, without questions, plummet us into a level that we do not want to be. This is very much basic economics 101...it really is. It is amazing that people actually think this, worse that people actually think this is a good idea.
Except, Bcitizen, we who want to quarantine could be affected by you, who have the absurd idea that quarantining is a bad thing. So it is not a matter of personal responsibility.
