On a lighter note, visiting Canada and seeing some differences and similarities. But when a friend pointed out that all the cars beep when being unlocked. And I heard a beep at 8am. I realised how good we have it back home.

While our media (appropriately) covers Israel’s genocide in Gaza, we have to remember others who suffer under the yoke of power-hungry authoritarians funded by fascist superpowers like the US and Russia, willing to sacrifice their citizen’s lives in their petty pursuits.

Ireland has become overly dependent on foreign direct investment through a small number of tax dodging multinationals. And have not even reaped significant rewards. More than a few countries have higher living standards with less exports and without being tax havens.

It is not enough that Simon Harris is lambasted for his treatment of one child and their now bereaving family. FFG must be held accountable for all the pediatric healthcare not being provided by the most expensive hospital in the world.

The biggest social program in history is the LLC. Limited liability allows corporations to borrow money with no risk to the owners of having to pay is all back if it’s lost. While pretending they take all the risk. When economic failure is actually guaranteed by socialism.

As well as responding to aberrations that make news we have to be consistently talking and working on the issues that hold back the working class, to the benefit of the owning class. Childcare. Education. Disability. Wealth inequality. Healthcare. We demand nothing but a fair share.

Seeing Peadar Toibín blaming immigration for our housing crisis after decades of FFG mismanagement as reports of violence particularly against immigrants of Indian subcontinental origin are making national headlines shows how foolish and bereft of morality he and his party are.

Hearing Harris twice refer to the economy in response to the recent horrendous attacks on Indians in Ireland is heartbreaking. These people are brothers, fathers, sons. They are people in their own right. Reducing them to tools for the enriching of the wealthy elite is Fine Gael to their core.
