De NL staat wordt door velen een “Verzorgingsstaat” genoemd, die koste wat het kost moet worden behouden. In werkelijkheid is “Afhankelijkheid- en Afwentelingsstaat” een betere benaming. De “AA-Staat” is de grote fictie waarbij iedereen op kosten van de anderen wil leven en kosten op elkaar proberen af te wentelen (geïnspireerd door Bastiat). Het corporatistische poldermodel is een belangrijk element hiervan. Trachten te conserveren van de AA-Staat is het verkeerde antwoord op de grote uitdagingen van dit moment. Het is een politiek van zelfgenoegzaamheid, stagnatie en economisch en moreel verval.

@MHReddell Even within the RB it looks like important information about some initiatives does not reach the top.

COLUMN: The Chinese 'oil weapon.'

The Strait of Hormuz crisis shows Beijing is now a stabilizing force for oil prices. This potentially reshapes the energy risk premia — and Asian geopolitics if conflict breaks out over Taiwan.

@EricCrampton New Zealand obviously has a stellar record on managing IT projects.

What a remarkable outcome: the world's largest ever oil supply disruption failed to create a major energy crisis.

The IEA said 2026 shock was worst than 1973, 1979 and 2022 together. And yet, the cost of oil, natural gas, electricity and coal never surpassed the previous peaks.

@aniobrien Thanks for pointing out the nonsense of qualified journalists

The result of this protectionist narrative is that I cannot attend RBNZ pressers and have to constantly educate NZ "qualified journalists".

@dpfdpf @the_postnz @SundayStarTimes Audacious and commendable!

@MHReddell Indeed, the CPB has drawn fire during the last election because of ideological bias. The bureau has become an anachronism.

@MishaTeplitskiy Great to see this being researched
