    Excluding the impact of people losing jobs etc is there any company you would love to see go belly up due to the current situation.

    One that stands out for me is Ticketmaster, horrible shower of hures.

    If so, who and why?

    Facebook, Google, YouTube, any dating site, online gambling.....

    Yeah Apple. Cringe loyal fanbase, every dumb virtue signalling hipster seems to use it seemingly oblivious to their practices.

    Happy Pear- The guys are annoying but not the reason I want them to go under more so again, you get the same virtue signalers, arriving in their range rovers to eat 'local organic produce'

    Just really any bull**** virtue signalling corporation who latch onto any movement so as to improve their image and profits. Fair weather organisations whose ethics pretty much means ethics as long as its profitable.

    Does TheLiberal.ie qualify as a business? Because there’s not much that would give me more pleasure than that toerag Leo Sherlock being held to account for his abhorrent plagiarism, baiting and general sh!t-stirring.

    I always wondered what sort of checks were in place to prevent underage people from uploading stuff.

    First they came for the socialists...

    Whatever one you work for, then you might see how thick of a question it is.

    Your humour is lost on me, I honestly don't see any funny side to someone losing employment.

    It would most definitely be funny and satisfying to see some politicians lose their jobs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,105 ✭✭✭Eggs For Dinner


    While I have disdain for many businesses, I wouldn't want to see any go belly up because the vast majority are manned by everyday folk trying to earn an honest living.
