Apparently it's awful that Simon Harris is punching down on this poor soul.

This is insanity. People with well-paid jobs and great pensions hold the country to ransom and the government falls over itself throwing money at them.

Need to defend electricity suppliers in the country (And I don't care if its unpopular)
The extreme high price we are seeing this week is the wholesale price. This is the price that 'suppliers themselves' buy their electricity at, before passing it on to you as retail price.
On top of that price goes balancing costs, grid charges, taxes, levies.
The suppliers have a small profit margin. You are not "getting ripped off by your supplier"

"The Fascists were completely against individualism in general and especially against individualism in a free market economy. Their agenda included minimum wage laws, government restrictions on profit-making, progressive taxation of capital, and “rigidly secular” schools."
...
"Indeed, the whole Fascist economic agenda bears a remarkable resemblance to what liberals would later advocate." — THOMAS SOWELL

If you receive welfare, you shouldn’t get to vote because you'd be a single-issue voter on maintaining and increasing your welfare, plus voting for any party that promises to do this.

Yes, GDP overstates well-being in countries with higher levels of government spending and more price controls, i.e., more socialist ones.

This is why Europe is the best place to live
Our financials are incredibly stable
EU citizens can store their money in our stock market and trust that it's completely safe
Look at this: No one lost money over the last 18 years
Stable currency. Stable markets.
Meanwhile Americans lose money to inflation every month.
The European dream is alive and well

The vast majority of people in this country don’t need a pay rise ..
We’ve a taxation problem..
We just need to keep more of our own money .. 💰
The government will take 50% of any pay rise anyway under the current system…
Wider tax bands are badly badly needed .

Why are'nt any of the commentators on today's strikes stating what are the salaries of those on strike ?

I stand with the people who have to wait until 65 to retire. I stand with people who when they fail to hit their targets face consequences. I stand with the Private Sector workers who pay for these public sector pensions and don't have their head up their own arse.
SIPTU has a clear message for public servants scheduled to work from home on Wednesday. Don't do it.
Don't open your laptop. Don't check your emails. Don't teach online. Don't answer your phone.
A strike only works when the work stops.
Remote work is work. #UnionStrike

There's a contrarian type of right winger that gets annoyed at the height of govt spending but then gets annoyed at a govt trying not to overspend.
But according to these people 16 euro an hour is a living wage. So by their own logic nearly every public sector worker is earning well above the living wage. 🤣

And of course he's lying.
It is 18C outside Tralee at 8.00pm on 12th October. Ireland used never reach these night time temperatures, even in high summer, during heatwaves. Now, our Autumn nights are becoming tropical. All fine and dandy many say, but where will the food come from in 5 years time?

On average, Boomers are getting paid more from Social Security than they “paid into it.” A lot more. Like double, and that’s counting inflation and interest. In raw dollars, they’ll get four to seven times what they paid in. So what about this compromise, to at least stave off insolvency and save billions: you get back what you paid in, but no more. Young families won’t be forced to finance a 250 percent return on your “investment.” That seems extremely reasonable, doesn’t it? It doesn’t go nearly as far as I would like. But it’s a very fair compromise. It completely negates any claim that you didn’t get the money back that you “paid in.” And yet I suspect that this comprise will not be satisfactory. Why is that? Because this debate actually has nothing to do with “getting back what you paid in.” The REAL demand is for a lot more than that.

I am so sick of these morons.
The state squeezes the fuck out of businesses at every single turn, and simps like this excuse it, and blame the entrepreneurs taking risk, and trying to create wealth and jobs in the economy.
A business gets hit with corporation & income taxes, employer payroll contributions, capital gains & dividend taxes and commercial rates & municipal charges at the local level.
The state does this while (along with banks) flooding the economy with money which strips people and businesses of their purchasing power, while simultaneously making goods and service more expensive.
Which, not surprisingly, has the downstream effect of pushing capital into assets that don't directly aid in local economies, because why the fuck would you not salvage what you can here?
To make up for the consequences of its own interference, the state consistently escalates wage floors, legislates unfunded entitlements and other complex regulations and makes doing business an absolute nightmare.
Businesses who have barely survived for years can be put in the red by any combination of these measures, and ultimately closed.
If you are one of the lucky ones who still manage to do well, the state will simply seek to take more, and if you manage to outperform Socialists like this twat will demand you pay even more and call it 'your fair share' - even though you already pay the overwhelming majority of taxation.
And yes, minimum wage increases are one of these things that can be the straw that breaks the proverbial camel's back.
Minimum wage laws simply monopolise labour by cutting off younger/more inexperienced people from the workforce. And if you are pro worker, why shouldn't a worker be able to negotiate the price of their own labour, freely?
Oh yes, because people don't have agency, and need the Socialists to perform this role, naturally.
Remember, if you are a successful person in the private sector you are literally paying for services that you mostly don't even use yourself - you are funding these services for other people, the very people who will just want more and more because we live in such a welfare minded society.
Gobshites like this lad - a literal public sector creation - that run cover for this lunacy infuriate me.
So in other words pensioners want more of the taxpayers money.
