Sonny Bill has a point

Michael from Pinehaven

Got a replica AB 2017 test playing skin-tight jersey for my birthday. I love it.When i put it on it does seem to inspire in me thoughts of side-stepping with pace and fending off enemies of the State. But it does come with AIG breast-high in bold white letters on an otherwise black piece of expensive cloth,

AIG is a despised American company that has taken many Americans and others world-wide to the cleaners in the insurance field and invoked the ire of President Obama by getting bailed out by the Federal Government and at the same time paying huge bonuses to its failed directors and CEOs.

So why do I carry AIG around with me advertising their name. Well I should be blotting it out with tape but I feel that with the jersey comes warts and all. I want the whole deal.

Sonny Bill has the guts, the mana, the ability and the contract to scrub off from his rugby jerseys advertising he doesn't religiously appreciate. Banks such as BNZ gain too much profit at the expense of its customers from exorbitant interest bearing loans, from ridiculous and increasing bank fees and so on. And most of the profits go to another country. Westpac, ANZ/National and ASB are no different

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
