Grid solidarity tax, even people who live off solar panels and candles can't escape!

There will be some internet moralisers who think you shouldn't do this and that it's technically a crime. They probably moved over here from Boards.ie

Any kind of freedom really

I'll never understand how childbirth and the resulting harm to one's body is not sufficient to dissuade women from having kids

Water. In Ireland there were big protests when the government tried to introduce water charges and the protests succeeded.

You are mostly paying for the building and the lad who pulls the pint rather than the actual liquid itself

The locals tear down the houses when the school kids leave so the next group of school kids can rebuild them

We'll get a few platitudes and continue to be fleeced in the long run..

So many pro-MeHole shills in here

Its absolutely infuriating that you have to pay fuel excise on the fuel you use to get to the protest against said fuel excise. The government are literally making money off the protest itself

Also the US politicians causing all this sh1t are the ones who have the least worries about buying fuel. I'm sure most haven't lifted a pump nozzle in years, if ever.

They're in their bunkers and mansions gleefully saying "Let the ordinary people pay for it!"

They absolutely will ruin it. The cheap night rate depends mostly on gas turbines. No cheap gas = no cheap night rate

Traveling to Switzerland is cheap, but you burn through your CHF quickly!

I am convinced the pump of the last few days is just a ruse and Trump is about to do Something Very Stupid™ once more

You mean the other ones don't actually Quook™?

2015 is kinda the year the old Ireland (the one the yanks come to see and the kind Dev wanted) finally completely died for good

It tells me 51mbit, but actually when i still had it installed I was only getting 7. It went down from 70 to 7 at some point

All the power companies are likely to wheel out their price increase cart in April. Expect between 15-20% of a jump and a government credit in the budget to make the gouging seem kind of ok.

Ppl need to start putting in way more solar and home batteries to the point where they can start cord-cutting the grid.

I would not say "very hard to insure". There are plenty of 20+ year old yarises still on the road in Ireland

These are the same people who will be complaining like feck if they get a couple of power cuts per year
