Life in Ireland

zeroliner

We're all here. No war, Covid low. Back to listening to the Government. Welfare, No Welfare. Private health insurance, Medical card. City arseholes, rural dwellers. We're one or the other. Does Ireland suck?

zeroliner

We're all exhausted. Gamers have become solicitors. Judges are beyond reproach. Barristers make their money in the UK.

Yes it sucks. Every country is starting to suck. They don't want to build any more houses in any place. Even Greenland

There is a fooking housing shortage in Nuuk. The emptiest country in the world has a housing problem. No doubt it is a problem artificially created by Green-minded politics there as well. Inflation is everywhere as well. In the 2008 recession people could still run away to Canada and Australia. Now those places have started sucking as well.

Covid is far from low, new cases are probably higher than ever

Does Ireland suck? no, Ireland is a incredible place to live. Only problem is the amount of moany people in it.

The amount of hand-wringing and crying on here is incredible. We are right up there as one of the best places to live in the world, yet to listen to some posters we are shovelling our **** into latrines every day.

Too many rules and regulations creeping in

It seems like when there's nothing happening we just bring in a new law or a tax on something

Off the top of my head, alcohol purchase.

kirk.

NCT for one

It's creeping along and getting to stage where they're checking for random stuff that's not even safety related

Property tax for nothing, don't even get the bins collected

The stuff that should be regulated like finance and politics and lawlessness isn't

Oh the old MUP debate, which there continues no public outcry about.

We have a real problem with alcohol in this country, regardless of what people say about the drop in consumption.

Scotland which is a similar country to ourselves had initially introduced MUP and depending on who you want to believe and ignore it looks to be successful.

So we have tried the same.

Also similar measures years ago helped reduce tobacco consumption.

I would not put it in the category of "when there's nothing happening we just bring in a new law or a tax on something".

Indeed. When you see what’s going on in Ukraine at the moment, for just one example, we are pretty blessed tbh. First world problems.

I guess you mean LPT, why would your bins be collected as part of LPT?

I was just talking to someone in the countryside yesterday in regards the amount of investment in the area, play areas, sports areas etc. when we grew up we had nothing but a GAA pitch. The LPT is great and helps pay for all of these items

Long may it continue

Did we or did we not bring in a new and controversial law that pissed a lot of people off, yes or no? That was your question, wasn't it?

Property tax is what I'd consider a "Freedom buyback scheme"

The government comes along and says "you know that house you've been living in for most of your life? well that actually belongs to us now, but tell you what, for the low low price of 500 quid a year we'll leave you alone and you can stay in it"

the owner says "well you do control all the boys in blue and the army with all their guns and I don't want any hassle so I'll just pay it"

expect to see your annual spend on "freedom buyback schemes" increase as the boys in Davos & Bilderberg meetings keep inventing new ways to make us spend all our money but without having to give us anything for it in return.
