Rather than watch that shitstorm, much better option is to watch the Late Show with Colbert. He is recording his shows live after each day of the RNC. Brought his Colbert Report character back for a segment last night, after going "to the woods" to find him with Jon Stewart :lol:
HAHA I saw that this morning..Quote:

He has been doing that Hungry for Power Games segment since his new show started. He basically skewered each candidate as they dropped out of the nomination race.Quote:

I mean, those bigoted assholes chose a Queen song to come out to.
Hey, they'd send Freddie Mercury to jail but geez that songs got some pop.
Just a perfect reflection on how out of touch those asshole politicians are.
haha literally one of the first jokes Colbert opened withQuote:

So if I made a TV show you'd watch Mr Furns?
Depends if you have more than one joke ;)
Hmmmmm, sounds like a fairly short TV show then.Quote:

My man is over in the squad thread still having an argument with himself.
I find that hilarious. But I see how it's not much of a spectator sport.
I mean even Third Eye Blind is getting in on this circus.
Third Eye Blind!!!!
Praise Griff what a time to be alive.
Ted Cruz should have just stayed home today the world wasn't ready for him to come outdoors.
It's amazing now seeing the delegates turn on these assholes one by one now they aren't flying the flag for their team.
That's an endorsement and half.Quote:

He would have been shit and virtually no chance of being elected, but surely the government should have at least put his name forward!
Plenty of examples of petty shit like this in the past.Quote:

**** em all I say.
KRudd has gone full tilt scorned woman on the whole deal too - has released correspondence between him and Malcolm basically showing him going back on his word to support him.
Geez let's hope he doesn't get those emails confused with him backing Julia, Julia backing him, Bill backing both of them, Turnbull backing Tony, Bronnie backing herself.Quote:

But geez no one is ready to let Kev back into the fold are they.
Blokes got funnel webs on his back or something.
Keating is an economic illiterate but when it came to taking the piss out of the conservatives during question time he was in a league of his own.Quote:

We can classify goods and services in an economy as:
1: Wage goods.
2: Non-wage goods.
Labour and workers produce both wage and non-wage goods.
However, a worker / labour will only purchase wage goods and therefore the price of non-wage goods is meaningless to them with respect to their purchasing power.
Therefore, we usually consider a basket of goods when determining changes to the purchasing power of wages.
This has some problems as well and there is often debate about what goods to include and exclude from the basket. But overall, it sort of works out ok.
When we want to know the real value of say for example GDP we will apply a deflator which reflects the changes in the prices of both wage and non-wage goods.
Lots of different methods to do this that have long since left my mind but the conclusion will always be the same.
Real wages are determined with respect to a basket of goods and Real Income [GDP] is determined by the changes in prices of all goods .
Hence you need to use a different type of index / deflator depending on what it is you are measuring. Simply applying the one method to wages and GDP is unsound because it will include items wage earners never buy or indeed exclude non-wage goods that non-wage earners will buy.
Oh.. I retired on Friday so I have a little too much time on my hands these days........ will probably do a John Farnham within a couple of years due to boredom and the need to grind away at myself.
Carry on.
congrats on the retirement Dunster.
what's the definition (and examples) of wage/non-wage goods? since you've got time on your hands.
