@LNBDublin Yet yer own biased, so called “Friends of the Earth” put the “potential” cost at “maybe” an extra 3 euro a month over 8 years.
Yeah that is 100% the cause.
3 euro a month for better Internet connectivity to these providers actually sounds like a good deal!
@derhurrikane@thejournal_ie Current data centres in Ireland are already obsolete.
An AI data centre is already 100x more capable than a legacy one (which is all that we have).
The birth rate collapsed in Ireland from 77,000 children in 2009 to 54,000 children in 2024.
The lack of housing, the cost of living, and the cost of child care are hammering families.
What's Sinn Féin's solution?
More abortion.
@s300felix@growlerowl@SanderTordoir Europe is just (demographically) old, and doesn’t consume as much as it did before.
Same as Japan and others before it.
No worries, on that front, China is catching up quickly.
@s300felix@growlerowl@SanderTordoir There is a big long list of things that China should stop doing - stop the below cost selling would be a nice start!

@owenstafford78@CWeston_Indo A temporary inflation bump - 3.2%?
Hardly time for a panic interest rate hike. ECB obsession with 2% number?
Maybe a range of in or around ~1-3% would be better here.
@CWeston_Indo@Charlie57568338 It’s all well and good to accept 10s of billions $$$ in corporate taxes from big tech companies.
Suddenly all that money has disappeared and we’re paupers when the time comes to pay for some infrastructure upgrades.
Budgetary constraints? Or just poorly managed investment?
