@Drakesport @JohnnyDineen Nearly ran out at the wing. Blinkers needed

The moment everyone has waited for @JohnnyDineen Just under 43 mins. Big support at the finish and huge money raised. What’s next John? Cork City Marathon will come a bit soon I’d say. idonate.ie/fundraiser/joh…

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.

@danobrien20 Your factual, common sense views aren't welcome here Dan. It's all over!

Yet another forecast (Rabobank) sees eurozone inflation rising to just 5% even in a severe scenario for energy prices.
Why are economists who do, or have done, model-based forecasts not too concerned about the economic impact of the ME conflict? The answer is that there have been many previous episodes of sharply higher energy prices (e.g. oil peaked at €200 a barrel in today's money in 2008) that have not had much impact. Models, which have been built around past experience of energy price spikes, are good at forecasting inflationary impacts.

Listening to @PierrePoilievre break down monetary policy on Joe Rogan, this is exactly the kind of conviction I stand behind.

@Axel_bitblaze69 what the hell do you call it, all "prediction markets" are gambling no

90% of kalshi's revenue comes from sports betting.
today the US senate introduced a bill to ban sports on prediction markets.
DraftKings stock pumped immediately on the news.
the casino lobby is literally trying to regulate its biggest competitor out of existence.
kalshi and polymarket together they did $40 billion in volume last year.
and congress wants to call it gambling.
funny how it's only "gambling" when the house doesn't get a cut.

@CxmeronCc Exactly right. As much as Honda have dropped the ball, Astons lack of oversight is equally incompetent.

Not a chance in a million years. These were Roy Keane’s actual words to Mick McCarthy @MCATEER4 ?

The Roy Keane v Mick McCarthy shemozzle depicted in the Saipan movie Keano portrayed brilliantly by Éanna Hardwicke a past pupil of Ashton School at the end of Victoria Road in Cork City - one of Ireland's most historic Protestant schools
