Health system, Homelessness, Broadband, Recession Pt2 incoming due to stupidity

vargoo · 30-11-2018 12:07AM #1

Such a bunch of idiots we have running things and it's the same bunch of idiots in there for decades, what's wrong with you people on here that keep putting these idiots back in. That fool currently in Healthcare, and all the gobsh1tes before him that sat back happy to take the fat pay check and do nothing for it. I'm honestly amazed that someone that's been wronged over the years by these bottom feeders hasn't sought out revenge. Seriously. That Martin lad leader, any fool on here that votes for him want to tell us why? Really love to know. That Coveney fella, mother of god.

I'm so sick of the same fuking problems going on for years.

Before anyone says why don't you run, I'm obviously not stupid or corrupt enough to get in, duh.

(This flowed outta me this way, if a mod wants to put it more eloquently, have at it)

Recession Pt2

How does that work?

Mr. Incognito · 30-11-2018 11:01AM

Thr problem is not the politicians.

Its the Civil Service that run the country that is staffed by poorly paid entrants who were not bothered getting a job in the private sector where they dont have to call in sick or do nothing all day.

Until we break the monopoly of the do nothing for more pay unions nothing will change.

I'd prefer to call it 'Recession 2: Electric Boogaloo'

I won't be voting in future. There is nobody I really agree with so don't see the point. There is really no alternative and its very disheartening

Graces7 · 30-11-2018 11:29AM

and the actual people working in eg the health service...

These are common now. A man blinded, babies damaged and dead and all by "medical misadventure"

If you dont vote, you forfeit your right to complain. If you can't even be bothered to weigh up the pros and cons of any candidates policies, then choose one that aligns closest with your own values, then you can't whinge when others choose for you.

theres a corny slogan about voting - your vote is your voice - use it.

Are you blaming the medical professionals there because that is 100% out of line.

I've worked training healthcare professional for over a decade and they work harder, are more committed and care more than people give them a scintilla of credit for.

The reality because of lunatics who constantly demand free housing, allow 50k a year per waster single mother and want to pay for nothing - the health service is sickeningly underfunded.

As to the OP - there is homelessness, to the tune of a few hundred rough sleepers (too many of course but hoe many would be helped by simply handing them over a flat without addressing other issues like addiction ?).

Had this discussion with an old man at the Lunch Club who told us he has never ever voted ...

Probably not.

But everyone who has dealt with any civil service staff or worked in the civil service knows how dsyfunctional, silo cultured, parochial and inefficient they are.

There's no use pretending otherwise.

The health system is not underfunded.

We spend the fifth most per person across the OECD.

The HSE gets more than enough to provide good healthcare for us.

Shame it's a terribly run service that's more concerned with the wages of its middle management than about the health of our citizens.

I'd rather spend the money on a thousand other things than give a penny more to those leechers.

Get rid of the unions in the HSE and watch patient care rise.

I phrased it badly - patient care is underfunded.

Non-medical staff and managers are highly funded.

Went comes it will be about "Recession" part 5 in my lifetime and I'll probably see a few more of them before I kick the bucket.

As you say yourself "opinions are not facts". Generalisations certainly are sweeping though.

I think Recession Mk2 started in mid October

Hope I'm wrong

klaaaz · 30-11-2018 01:21PM

As per the usual suspects blaming the poor(and now badly paid civil servants added to the list) for their own failures in acquiring a better paid job(their own AH mantra) in order to afford high healthcare, high housing costs, high childcare costs, high gas/electricity costs along with a long commute which they all voted for via FFG in the first place. Your own kids will suffer the same in adulthood unless you change your neo capitalist ways, think about that.

Isn't it the other way around - if you voted, you played a part in bringing about the screw up that we are encumbered with and it is hypocritical to complain. If you didn't vote you are guilt free and your subsequent complaint is valid?

Its not that I can't be bothered at all. It is not laziness.

I don't see any policy differences in
the main parties, I don’t see the point of voting for people who offer no change, no new ideas or new solutions just more of the same.

Chips Lovell · 30-11-2018 01:37PM

It is laziness. We're all citizens of this country. It's your country, just as much as it's anyone else's.

Complaining that there's not decent candidates come election time is essentially saying that you think there's a problem but someone else should sort it out.

Its really not laziness. If I keep voting them in I can't complain either and I voted FG in the last one.

I actually mostly agree with you, I always have voted in the past but I don't think I will the next time as there is little or no difference. I can't vote for the crazy left wing people so I really don't see what you do in that situation. Other then start up my own party...

If i recall correctly - when the hse was set up, the unions ensured that no jobs were lost (even though the idea was to make everything more efficient).. as a result it made things worse...a lot worse.

But sure so long as the unions get their dues why do they give a **** about the health system.

How much should it cost?

How much, as a percentage of the overall budget, goes to health and how does that stack up against other countries?

What is the problem with getting rid of all the excess jobs? This is given as a reason over and over for years, why is nothing done?
