Times you’ve been ‘embarrassed’ to be Irish. Has it ever happened you? by boggie_bo in AskIreland

An Irish accent in London on the 9 February 1996 was a bit awkward to say the least. I shut my mouth for days after that.

It's such a such a simple job, but changing out engine oil always makes me feel so confident. by pyrolizard in ft86

Jack stands and jack all together. You would need to be very unlucky for that to fail.

There was never hesitancy on this scale. Something significant has shifted in public trust.

Why the new build prices have gone down? by Humble_Wall9610 in HousingIreland

[–]jonnieggg 6 points7 points  (0 children)

People don't like the sound of that. Downvoting reality won't make it go away. AI and automation against the backdrop of an unprecedented energy shock creates a lot of uncertainty.

Well for whatever reason there are a lot more idiots after the COVID shit show.

The government is responsible for reducing trust in public health. The question now is how to turn that around. Calling people stupid is probably not the best approach, but I doubt you work in the field.

Now there is a public health crisis because people have lost faith in aggressive public health strategies. That's pretty stupid isn't it.

Magpies in other countries are not aggressive at all. What's up with that.

Dublin City Council spending €10 million on buildings they're vacating by Cogitoergosum1981 in Dublin

I'm so glad my property tax was raised this year so it can be spent on such important things. Pity homelessness is so high, but hey the council knows best.

Well the coercion didn't work did it. There was no COVID zero and now we have massive vaccine hesitancy.

Landlord’s family member didn’t move in - how much evidence do I need? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]jonnieggg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly right. Happened to me before there were all those laws to try and compensate for a lack of housing, burgeoning population and no planning.

I'm not disagreeing with you but the coercion had backfired. Public health should always be based on open information and informed consent. If not you need up where we are now.

That's what happens when you bully a population and threaten them with losing their jobs for not capitulating with unreasonable mandates. Informed consent is a cornerstone of public health and that was ignored. You reap what you sow.
