Press conference in Dublin on Monday to discuss: RTE board member Daire Hickey’s attempted pimping for “sex” of his staff, his defrauding of companies, his business partner’s alarm over his cocaine use. Plus the man who helped cover “it” up: David Kelly. Oh & did I mention Leo

The west increasingly produces Trabants compared to China. Hopefully we won’t all be forced to buy only western trabants.
I lived with a Chinese EV for a few weeks to see if the hype is real. The car costs $42K, and turns out it feels like $75K+ EASILY One of the most impressive things I've ever reviewed: https://t.co/EHe358cvLt - A+ software and features. Feels like what would happen if Apple

Dutch investigation of 60 “drone incidents in Europe” concludes mostly just hysteria, not Russia. Shocked.

Translation: “For 15 years we’ve been in power. Because of us the richest have grown disproportionately richer at your expense. Ireland is now a mess. So here’s a rehashed but slightly different spin on where we are at to keep you confused while we continue to loot the place”

Eoin, of course the government could buy all these idle sites with planning for 41,000 apartments at existing use value as they do elsewhere, but then greedy speculators might lose out. And that would be unacceptable! So a generation must be shafted to protect the greedy few.

I thought judicial reviews and bats were the problem, not wealthy investors hoarding land banks with planning already granted. Have we been intellectually scammed by a lobby group funded by similarly wealthy investors?

Why does the United States have about twice as many adults and children living in poverty compared to Western Europe, when the United States has so many more trillion dollar companies and billionaires than Western Europe. It’s a total mystery.

Historically illiterate centrist dads losing their minds in the replies. Seriously considering running a “re-education camp” for centrist dads when the Whistleblower opens in January.
The Fidel Castro meeting room in The Whistleblower is now complete. More rooms yet to do. Opens in January on South Anne Street. We hope to hold regularly debates & discussions with writers, philosophers and trouble makers. Getting excited now. 💪🏽 ♥️

Wow. Pearse Doherty brilliantly exposing lie, after lie told by Simon Harris and Fine Gael to voters in the last general election. One of the most devastating two minutes I’ve seen.

I'm rich & this is a lie. When politicians lower my taxes, I don't create additional jobs (only demand does that). I simply save that money Trickle-down economics has been repeatedly debunked yet conservatives lie to you so they can give their wealthy overlords more tax cuts
If you want to help the poor, then lower taxes on the rich. What helps the poor is a productive economy that makes goods and services more abundant and less expensive, while creating employment opportunities. The capital investment that makes that possible comes from the rich.

Most will disagree, but I feel one of the existential risks to the West is videos westerners make while visiting China. These videos may spur growing numbers in the west to wonder is there a better way to run our societies & economies. Thoughts? https://t.co/SzjHq6m6vq

“We need landlords” says Ireland’s largest newspaper & defender of feudalism in 1845. Actually this is today’s editorial. Landlords & property speculation are part of the problem. The solution is home ownership & not a life time of rent servitude to rich landlords.
