2 Our subservience to big business and their jobs promises - can’t even bring in a tax on soft drinks without Coca Cola threatening job losses and we pull the plug on the plan. FFS sake.
3 Our planners - the bankers have all the blame for the recession but they’re a product of a capitalist environment and why wouldn’t they keep lending. The fucking planners lost the run of themselves completely, fueled the boom and put fuck all safeguards in place for sustainable development.
4 Our big 2 political parties - horrid beasts.
Keeping this free of COTY types who have their own thread.
It has been widely commented on here before- the the need for world validation - It’s not unusual for small countries or countries with a colonial past to seek this but we take it to new high every fucking time.
Its disgusting the way some Irish people eat themselves into a state. Big fat fuckers everywhere nowadays,
gulping down coke and deep frying their dinners and feeding the same to their kids. This carryon is now totally acceptable. Its seems its fine to raise your offspring in Ireland the same way youd fatten a herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle. If you are from a ‘socially deprived’ area then its almost expected from you.
Running on GMT - I think we should be running closer to American time than we currently are - This would surely give us an advantage in the corporate world but more importantly make NFL MNF, TNF and SNF more accessible to Irish citizens.
