Men hate to shop. It’s a truism that Bud Light ads have hammered into us for decades. Ikea has absorbed it, too, and come up with a novel solution in its Australian stores.

Some countries including New Zealand and Australia do not give ordinary families much of an incentive to earn more. Effective marginal tax rates on low income families is one of the few times that the Left discovers supply-side economics.

Not a lot of point for a 2nd earner in an ordinary family going back to work in the English-speaking countries once you consider the childcare fees for a 2-year-old and a 3-year-old. These calculations were released today in Paris in the OECD’s Going for Growth 2016.
