Anyone else noticing and loving the nuns and priests getting involved? Both reminiscent of another uprising 110 years ago and in tune with the global revival official Ireland is so tone deaf on. Love to see it 💪🏻👌🏻 https://t.co/A4M5CCl1lk
The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.
That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.
That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.
People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.
@MartianSeervant@EndTheEU@SuzieD755164 Decentralised Finance, a crypto term to describe permissionless banking on a crypto network. Basically a crypto wallet you own and control to interact with other crypto services. Problem is to load the crypto wallet you use traditional banking services...
@CryptoFeras With no signs of de-escalation of the war in Iran how likely are we to sustain a run ?? All the signs point to more escalation and potentially Iranian oil infrastructure going to be hit next??
@HaseebAhmedch2@primarycatdad@grok@grok Is the post suggesting a crash in the markets will bring pressure to the US to seek a diplomatic ceasefire to reassure investors
@john_mcguirk If true why has this image not being released. If the goal is for the Iranian people to rise up against the regime this would be a helpful development
@wayne_m159@__DeeeCR7 Field was the only option in this situation and would have almost certainlybsaved their lives. Maybe the driver didn't understand the imminent danger and thought they would have been safe in the car ,that it could take the impact.
