Trumps tariffs are a giant nothing-burger for Ireland. Ireland has all systems in place to protect people from any fall out. All you have to do is get your pregnant wife to have an abortion. There's a ton of money saved. Get your elderly parents to have assisted suicide. You get their house and your aborted kids bedroom and you open an IPAS centre in each... easy street.

Isn't it gas watching the usual crowd caterwauling and crowing over Trump's impending tariffs.

Ireland is going to be among the hardest hit, owing to its status as a tax haven for American multinationals.


Is it perhaps time that we now acknowledge that it was a bad idea to put all our eggs in the one basket; to acknowledge that the failure to invest in indigenous businesses in favour of luring yank conglomerates was wrongheaded in the extreme? That turning the country into a giant industrial estate was dumb?

I look forward to this period of self-reflection :rolleyes::rolleyes:
I don't think all the US multinationals in Ireland are going to leave immediately, but I do hope most of them leave eventually. Many immigrants are coming here specifically for the jobs offered by those companies - once those companies are gone and our economy crashes, most of those immigrants will fuck off to another country.

US companies are also a major influence on Irish business - sometimes they bring best practices and other ideas which are positive, but they have also brought into Ireland the DEI and feminist nonsense, as well as being big supporters of LGBT and immigration.

It will be painful in the short-term as many Irish businesses depend on those US companies, but it's another bubble that has to be burst. Instead of chasing FDI, I'd much prefer support for our indigenous businesses and an economy not obsessed with increasing GDP as if it's the only metric of a successful country.

Many of the eastern European immigrants have already left for their old countries, flooding in after the fall of the Soviet bloc they made their money in the boom years and have long since taken it home with them.

What are the rules regarding moderation, are there a minimum post required or something else?

It's quite annoying having this time delay between posts and threads and having to receive approval for them.

I've quite a few more threads I would like to move across from my archives.

You have to answer a question but being a guest works well and they don’t have your information.

Tiger deleted this reply of mine to you:

What you want is to knock hundreds of years of biological and ecological science into a cocked hat with absurd theological arguments in the interests, I suppose, of kickstarting some kind of Catholic caliphate.

Quite true. You should read about the Discovery Institute or watch the start of the video below (they're not just harmless cranks and are very much on a mission)

Notice that the bigot is methodically going through a thread that I started (Origins Uncensored) and deleting my posts. What a fricken loser 🤣

Who is doing that?

Anyway, didn't you ask a mod to do that?

See?

He just deleted all of my posts that were published today (obviously he only sees them after they're published)

He never saw them at all because I did not approve at least one abusive post and two simple emoji posts

If you read the wording of my post, I said - can you delete my other threads and posts. This was just after I noticed that my Origins Uncensored thread was merged into Tiger's blog, so I knew he was going to start deleting my posts (historical and current), that's what he does, the guy is a massive penis

Ok. I just created a new thread in blogs. Post in that. Tiger can't edit any of them therein.

I think it was Val that merged but I could be wrong, he might have created a magic password

Just post in my thread, since yours has been co-opted by a Bible basher it's a write-off anyway. Don't engage with it and let it die a natural death.

Was that due to the paedophile stuff Sir?
It was due to the abuse, slander, stalking I got (that would have gone forever) particularly from two posters who are well-known for it, and I'm afraid you were a third (so, you know, GFY) because I honest enough to say that a teenager could possibly be physically attractive to an older man
