The Gap

Good luck to Trump and the GOP without Catholics, Muslims, anti-war voters, fiscal hawks, immigration hawks, prospective home-buyers, anybody who wanted the Epstein Files, anybody who watches Tucker, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, & Candace. But hey at least they’re popular in Israel.

Sivler busting loose again

@IrishTimes Let's see how the government try to frame them as 'far right'

More than 2,000 frontline ambulance staff set to strike over pay irishtimes.com/ireland/2026/0…

@JamesOConnorTD be an expensive project now with the current silver prices, it's incredible this wasn't fast tracked

Solar done right. Well done Niall and the team at Cork Airport.

@larpar @PaulTreyvaud @Nick_Delehanty Both are true, the taxes keep our compound growth possibilities within investing or employment, behind that of the devaluation of the Euro, so that we can't afford to compete in the asset markets.

@PaulTreyvaud @Nick_Delehanty Wrong Paul you haven’t figured out that the Government is close to a hidden Money 💶 Printer 🖨️ that’s where all the funds come from

Here’s @Nick_Delehanty on fire again At least now you know why fuel prices can’t be dropped or carbon taxes axed They need the money to pay for people that, 80% of which, shouldn’t be here in the first place. Back to work everyone

The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile. That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap. That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel. People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.

@ksorbs I suspect BIS and European Central Bank via the WEF framework, championed the idea that the Eurozone's debt/credit levels had grown too large without underlying population growth (GDP) to absorb it, and thus they had to artificially grow their population at all costs.

European governments are purposely importing their own destruction. What's even more amazing is the fact that the citizens overwhelmingly do NOT support these migrants flooding to their cities and towns, yet the government doesn't care.

@Muinchille the money is going to run out they say, as the m2 money supply of Euro accelerates to all time highs, devaluing the Euro alongside the dollar and giving us our lovely runaway inflation

The entire country is run on the basis that the money will run out. Very high domestic taxes were never reduced because the money from FDI will run out. People aren't made permanent in public services or union jobs because the money will run out. Vast amounts were even spent on useless strangers because the money will run out, and they can't reproach us for it when it does. All the opportunities prosperity gives are squandered because the money is going to run out.

@robertburke84 normal proceedings for the World Economic Forum's minions

It never ceases to amaze me how in a single breath Irish Ministers will portray themselves as the vanguard of democracy and also put forth an outrageously authoritarian proposal without seeing it themselves. Mind boggling.

Wow, Irish govt ordering the media regulator to investigate the state broadcaster over media coverage of fuel protest (not being govt friendly enough.) Unbelievable. independent.ie/irish-news/gov…

@IrishmanIRL surpress**

@IrishmanIRL He’s saying the quiet part out loud, he only wants his voice and his view point to be heard, and it is his mission to surprise alternative views

Fuel protest coverage crybaby Minister for Communications Patrick O'Donovan isn't happy the wrong people got too much airtime last week and wants Ireland's media regulator Coimisiún na Meán to investigate

@IrishmanIRL This ministerial behaviour is something you’d expect to hear coming out of North Korea or Soviet Russia

@KitMurray @Casey5122dark @irish_lassie27 @Margare27461789 @LeoVaradkar It’s not difficult to discern in the slightest actually for most of us

@Casey5122dark @irish_lassie27 @Margare27461789 @LeoVaradkar The distinction between lies and broken election promises is often difficult to discern.. It is all history now, ...abolition is not a possibility, Ireland is in no position to narrow the tax base.

Still waiting to see the disappearance of the USC, the emergency tax.

@PaulTreyvaud @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD The Irish government hasn't a fecking clue how bad the energy crisis will get and continue to be over the next 6 months and it is a real danger to the people of Ireland. Our minister for finance doesn't even have any education in it, no degree, nothing ffs.

@SammyJanki60365 @Ben_Scallan You've actually sent in an Ai justifying that they're centre right with the claim Fine Gael is 'Anti-taxes' in the midst of a nationwide anti-tax (on fuel) protest 😐

@Ben_Scallan When you’re so far right everything looks left eh Ben🥴

Our pro-abortion, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-mass immigration, feminist, Greta-praising, climate activist, pro-hate speech law, high tax, high spend Government that roots for the Democrat Party in US elections and describe themselves as "progressive centre" are rightwing. 👍 Sound.

@Clairerrrrrrrrr @Ben_Scallan look up what right-wing economics is and tell us again how the parties who have doubled the public expenditure in just a decade are just that

@Ben_Scallan ECONOMICS ITS ECONOMICALLY RIGHT WING ARE YOU STUPID, ECONOMICS

@caoimhe90000 @Washki2000 @PaulTreyvaud @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD 🤣

@TheGapUpdates @Washki2000 @PaulTreyvaud @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD Two sugars please Simon.

Well done @MichealMartinTD and @SimonHarrisTD The stark reality of this governments ability to run a nation. So sad and many more businesses to follow
