@StewartFitzell Oh fuck off you absolute eejit, we do not want anything to do with the narcoführer

Ireland would be very fortunate to be trained by Ukraine on drone / counter drone warfare.
Let's get this going.
Niall O’Connor@NiallJournal_ie
Another story from Ukraine - a lot of experts suggest the Ukrainians could teach Ireland a lot on drones. Here's what the Minister said: The Minister for Defence Helen McEntee has said that she is open to discussing drone defence capabilities with Ukraine. jrnl.ie/6999828t

@Paddy_Barrett @FatEmperor I'm seeing a lot of posts on this in last few days. I thought this was settled?

Every 1 mmol/L reduction in LDL cholesterol lowers major vascular events by about 20–25%.
Lower LDL → lower cardiovascular risk.

@camelfinance This came at a very strange time for me. I'm going to let it be for a while. I'm not ready.

@Muinchille Nuclear power not very dangerous at all. I did some actual research on it and was stunned. I thought chernobyl caused 10s to 100s of thousands of deaths and cancers etc. It's just not true. Less than 10 people died from the Japan nuc issue a few years ago.
English
Listen, we never wanted nuclear power because muppets like you would be in charge of it, and it's dangerous.
This way, we hand it over to other countries who are foolish enough to risk putting the event horizon in the hands of politicians and get the power anyway.

Ireland based its energy policy on ideology, hypocrisy, ignorance and incompetence over many years. We are completely dependent on others for our energy needs. We are against fracking but need LNG for security. We’re against Nuclear power but import it from UK and are now

It's not worth the bother loading your car with plastic bottles and driving to the nearest machine to get back pocket change. Anyone who does this is a fucking moron

I absolutely hate and despise the deposit return scheme and these type of people make it significantly worse. The sooner this DRS thing ends

The ability of those in the public sector - who have been so badly wrong on a thing, to the detriment of millions - to simply, eventually, just change their minds and all is forgotten is absolutely wild.
Every single person who opposed policy that was subsequently recognised as beneficial to the nation, should be immediately sacked upon such a reversal.
You do not get to be so wrong on a thing as important as the things these people are so consistently wrong on, and still keep a job from the taxpayer.
Such a public sector is a cancer, and needs radical reform.

Bitcoin is the least of my concerns
Quite sure we are going to witness some seriously fucked atrocities of war and human behavior
Of the likes of which we haven’t seen in over 90 years
This is what drives the Saeculum — humans forget how bad it can get (complacency) and don’t think good times come to an end
Life is about to change as we know it
Look into Strauss/Howe Generational Theory
It’s obvious what’s coming

@TonySeverinoCMT If quantum could break Bitcoin, Bitcoin would become the least of our concerns. Nuclear submarines, nuclear warheads and banking systems would become the biggest of our concerns.

"Because of our insane net zero fixation, electricity is now so expensive it threatens our long term economic prosperity. Therefore, we have decided to go faster in the same direction. Thank you."

Attended an emergency meeting of EU Energy Ministers to address rising energy costs and supply. Strong agreement to work together, accelerate renewables and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Further measures will follow at EU level in the coming weeks ⚡️

@fingalpimpernel @j0fdw A floor price would eventually be found. Standard supply and demand
English
@j0fdw @irl_willbert Of course, because of the scale of evictions. Although a minority would probably scrape together the rent to stay.

At least 1/3 of rental housing tenants have nearly all their rents paid by the state, which in turn then takes half that back in tax, and so on and so forth....
Denman Rooke 🇵🇸@SocialistDenman
@lbmeyler The main leeches in Irish society in this scenario are the landlords raking in massive profits off of ordinary working people's salaries. They are literally parasitic to the economy. They provide no value and extract wealth from their tenants. We don't need private landlords.
English
@j0fdw @fingalpimpernel Don't forget, with reduced rents, value of properties goes down. Wealthy landlords lose their wealth. Another problem solved. Institutions don't want losses, they sell, another problem solved...

@irl_willbert @fingalpimpernel This would have Paul Murphy and his looney brigade marching around Dublin before you could even blink

@even_steven8tht Some people are so selfish .. why stop at childcare? Why must government workers choose between healthcare and the city they love? And also food, why must they pay for food themselves in their own city that they run. And also housing, they run the city!
English
America is such a fascinating place because this man is providing a service that actually materially benefits people, arguably what the government is designed to do, and you will still see articles upon articles trying to convince you he’s actually doing a bad thing.

NYC Mayor Mamdani announces free childcare center for government workers:"We never want city workers to have to choose between a job that they love and raising their kids in the city they call home."

@TonySeverinoCMT Dude. That is highly suspect valid Elliot wave... While not technically incorrect, it would be a very low probability, add there are at least 3 more reasonable counts that fit much better

Probably true
I still think Bitcoin has a bright future
It just has a dark future first

Ireland is the 5th freest nation in the world, with full political rights and near-ideal civil liberties. The country sits alongside Finland, Norway, Sweden & New Zealand. At a time when global freedom is in decline, Ireland is a beacon of positivity. 🇮🇪

@irl_willbert There are no real policy differences between the parties in the Dail. They are essentially all the same party, a uniparty. They are fighting hard to exclude any real nationalist parties from forming or getting elected.
English
Irish people have been warned time and time again about the consequences of the carbon tax and net zero policies. They have continued to vote for the parties that push these policies. If you want change vote for the centre party. It’s up to you.

James was at the Emergency meeting called Saturday night in Portlaoise regarding the fuel / energy crisis. At the meeting members of hundreds of businesses in hauliers, agri, and transportation said they'll all be shutting down in the weeks ahead. ⚠️BUILDING BOOM IS OVER ⚠️MORTGAGES IN AREARS ⚠️HOUSES HALF BUILT / LEFT UNFINISHED ⚠️NEW BUILDS CEASED ⚠️DIGGERS PARKED UP ⚠️FARMERS UNABLE TO AFFORD GREEN DIESEL No Farmers, No Food. Simple.

This is absolute madness.
No. We need less private landlords, ideally none.
It doesn't matter how you slice it, once-off pension, multi-property business, investment funds. None.
Housing should be a right, not an investment.
FG/FF are the reason we are in this mess.

Ireland needs more landlords with five or more properties who treat renting as a business, rather than one-off landlords who see it as their pension, according to Fine Gael MEP Regina Doherty. jrnl.ie/6994294

@KeithMillsD7 No rules solves this problem. Proper free market on housing . There are tradeoffs, but cheap and options won't be the problem.
English
I agree but rentals need to be cheaper so we need to be building more build to rent.
Also our housing stock is out of date. Far too many suburban family homes when we need city centre apartments.
There's a good atguement for not building anymore units with more than 2 bedrooms.

Exactly why we need a deep retrofit for every house in the state, solar panels on every roof.....starting with a state programme rolling it out for all social housing and public buildings like schools
