"If Irish nationalism adopts this ideology, the movement would accrue superficial gains at the expense of conceding its cardinal values"

in his debut for MEON, Peter Ryan argues that Irish nationalists should avoid an alliance with MAGA Libertarianism and its Silicon Valley backers.

Saw this clip about Ireland being shared around. Just a quick post on what would in my opinion, happen if this was to play out.

1: Because the multinational sector is such a major component of Ireland's economy, (not just on the direct corporation tax receipts level) companies leaving on this scale would cause unemployment on a similar scale to 2008. This unemployment would cause an increase in young Irish people leaving the country for good, depression, poverty, lack of services provided to people. None of these are good things.

2: If this was to happen right now, support for nationalists would increase, but because the Irish right is still in its infancy, most of that support would simply go into Sinn Fein this time. And Sinn Fein would mishandle the situation in my opinion.

3: This would threaten a vicious economic loop whereby civil servants and politicians bring in more extreme measures and high taxes on people to pay for all these programs/NGO workers, etc. This would be worse than 2008 because at least in 2008, younger people had built up some bit of wealth through the boom, even if a part of that was just the housing bubble. This time, that simply doesn't exist for younger people. Even more people then leave. The country then becomes hollowed out over time.

We should have done two things. Improve our infrastructure to the level where companies have less of an incentive/stay just for the tax rate to leave AND copied Japan/South Korea in terms of supporting Irish firms learn the skills so we can do the work ourselves.

So yeah, great that people are talking about it, but suffice to say, I don't agree with this.

Very interesting IDA survey that came out a couple of days ago but originally done in 2022.

Corporation tax is the main driver of why companies come here. Housing and the cost of energy the major issues in terms of what companies dislike.

Based on some of these findings, I'd be wary of people who say these multinationals are here for our educated workforce (see the second image in this post) or anything like that.

As the United States looms over us, it is important to not be under any delusion of why they are here.

Even the data points at it.

Doing some reading for a livestream on Dublin 4.

Here is data on the percentage of men with level eight and above university degrees by LEA. From the CSO.

You can see overwhelmingly, affluent areas in Dublin top the list.

Not surprising and obvious sure, but leads into a problem Ireland has had over the past couple of decades.

Why do all these people have the same opinions?

O King that was born
To set bondsmen free,
In the coming battle,

Merry Christmas everyone.

Good clip on Dominic Cummings talking about how the UK Civil Service works.

Thing is, a lot of this applies to the Irish system as well.
