  1. The Irish government is certainly out of step with the Irish public
    84
  2. Economists are fantastical. They think there's unlimited growth on a dying planet
    74
  3. This has a very strong pong of anglo-sphere
    64
  4. The oil market itself is the problem
    61
  5. Only controversial when China does it. But it's not controversial when it's food...

  6. The other half *sees that he's only in power to preserve the transfer of wealth and compromise towards the right.

  7. You may have answered your own question
    42
  8. And when you call out Apartheid in Palestine, you're tarred as antisemitic
    41
  9. At least it's not like Ireland, back to "2007 levels" with out a blink, as our housing crisis has now turned into a free market disaster

  10. ​ @napoleonfeanor get real
    35
  11. lol 't'is Weird to not hear a single mention about Northern Ireland.
    33
  12. But where does power and wealth reside? Historically and even today it tends to bankroll the extreme right to protect itself.

  13. ​@user-tz9wk2rj2dby that logic is Keir Starmer "left wing"? pfft!

  14. In all honesty, news around Europe has been very quiet about Portugal, even during the last election as a foot note; and only when there is news it was about covid in December or the political coalition instability. Despite being in a union, we really don't hear much about each other in the media unless it's a disaster.
    29
  15. That's politics for ya
    28
  16. Can Ireland bring the UK to the European Court of Human Rights? For, you know the war crimes in the troubles, Soilder F, etc
    27
  17. With that title, it's as if you've forgotten about Sinn Féin, who are apart of the Left-NordicGreenLeft pan euro party.
    24
  18. Ireland: hold my brown envelope
    24
  19. It was a very quiet news week that day. Including that horrific flood and damn burst in Libya drowning tens of thousands from the same storm.
    24
  20. Scotland has a better chance ...
    24
  21. So much for democracy and public investnent
    24
  22. 🎯

  23. TLDR may not know it but it does come off as a cheerlead for chaos
    22
  24. What a surprise. We'd never hear news of this else where in Europe.
    21
  25. Underrated comment Their decisions carried risk. Ultimately as things have shown, prioritising short term profit, building nothing but crossovers to compete with competitors' profit margins have ultimately risked the industry, risked the jobs of workers, and delayed years of EV adoption.

  26. You can thank the Brits for that (flooding money into the Prussian empire to fight France)
    18
  27. ​ @blueboy3990 you can definitely force them not to have kids by making living conditions so dire, and killing off the very natural ecosystems that our bread baskets and water supply depends on

  28. What rules does china have to play by? Free market rules? China proved it succeeded in a more planned economy than the boom bust markets we're saddled with. In China is an automaker wanted to sell they had to build there, and in China there's no monopoly over patents, their technology and skills are learned by domestic partners like SAIC, Geely, GWM and the rest I would not shed a tear for western automakers. They squandered for too long until diesel gate and Tesla's rise bit then in the arse and they're still too late selling +80% of their fleet as internal combustion.

  29. New members: Wales, Scotland, "Northern" Ireland
    16
  30. In times of Recession, where is the transfer of money flowing? Easy to blame refugees for the greed of private markets and institutions, ie Housing and Cost of Living expenses.
    16
  31. Wouldn't be so quick to call the Irish awareness and recent memory of racism, colonialism, authoritarianism and apartheid as "anti-semitic". That's a dangerous and Orwellian accusation that has been peddled for some weeks now.
    15
  32. We squandered 10 years of not diversifying our energy sector with renewable sources. This even includes local microgeneration of electricity, hydrogen, the agricultural effluent across all of Europe that can be biodigested into useable methane. But the EU (read EPP) had persisted in maintaining the market and the goal of unlimited growth under a thin coat of greenwash.

  33. We're a tax evasion money washing machine with an added dose of plastic paddy tourist traps, and a civil democracy trapped by self serving charlatans and the threat of capital flight.
    15
  34. Or "Vichy Trance"
    14
  35. What's unusually high tolerance to you? Why discuss about immigration without discussing about Ireland's deeply broken and explored housing crisis and poor economic planning tailored for MultiNational tax evasion and service jobs.
    14
  36. It would demand a pivitol shift in our economic lives, outlook and planning. Something that's needed to address the crisis that is climate collapse But no. Private business interests will outlive us all until there's no economy left to buy from them.
    14
  37. And so does lePen and Meloni
    14
  38. And visa versa. But neither take seriously the catastrophic permafrost melt and wetland emissions from global warming
    13
  39. You really didn't explain anything with a finishing dose of flattery
    12
  40. If it weren't for the bloodshed
    12
  41. What's not fine is how there is an abundance of money that could help many things, many Americans and American society with that annual $800 Billion tax bill on the pentagon.
    12
  42. They're both seasoned technocrats with many business relationships, are you sure....
    12
  43. We can afford the reduced political lobbying-/-manipulation that has always made the UK the contentious contrarians in the EU Council.
    12
  44. Don't be a supremacist
    12
  45. Can't say you're unbiased with that purple-volt EU flag combo in your pfp Volt has shown an appalling attitude towards Palestinians though and entertain xenophobic and islamophobic views in recent months.
    11
  46. If only the Irish government politics would, despite scandal after scandal after scandal after sandals 🩴
    11
  47. and Ireland is the UK ...

  48.  @ez9566  Greenhouse gases were discovered almost 200 years ago. Global warming, climate change was known since the 1940s. The cause being oil companies and executives in the 1980s. And now in the 2020s we come to understand that it's a product of capitalism in general; the production of fossil fuels, the lies and delays from the industry's infiltration in the political and media space. And if course, the systemic nature of employment and the economy as a whole

  49. He wouldn't be the only one

  50. Gotta feed that algorithm
