A site value tax (SVT) would sort our housing crisis as part of a major reset shift from taxes on work, enterprise and parenting to taxes on location, network and information monopolies

The coming loss of FDI tax receipts to the Irish exchequer will make this reform inevitable

Housing policy working as intended.

Written by vulture funds for the benefit of vulture funds.

Who is shocked that the rules that the party of landlords made is benefiting landlords and REITs, at the expense of normal citizens.

We have the party of property in power for nearly two decades straight and some people are still surprised that the government hasn't dealt with a property bubble.

FG are acting completely in chaarcter.

The astonishing part is the moronic voters such as middling paid PAYE workers, voting for them and then complaining that it does what it says it will do.

Yawn.

Very counterintuitive to learn about the money reality so @ProfSteveKeen has created an IT model of the internal workings of money system, public and private, that proves his explanation is correct and the current one is just wrong

Governments are borrowing money from you, then wondering why the economy will not grow.

Here is the part nobody tells you:

A government deficit creates money. But when the government sells bonds to households and firms, they use money they already have to buy them.

The deficit creates money. The bond sale cancels it.

So growth stalls, debt rises, and politicians respond by cutting the things that actually make an economy work.

This is not fiscal discipline.

It is an economic straitjacket.

Anyone know how to get this newspaper Sovereign Independant from 2011? Or who was the journalist?

Capitol Leaks Verified account @CapitolLeaks1 1d

This woman is holding a newspaper that she has kept since 2011.

The paper contains an article by Bill Gates called “Depopulation Through Forced Vaccination”, as it will be the most "environmentally friendly solution."

This article can’t be found anywhere now.

Please share!

Another cave-in by FF justice minister Jim O'Callaghan who yesterday agreed to consider the appeals by ~40 Palestinians (against visa denials) within seven working days, so by 18 November 2026.

This is on top of the reconsideration ordered by the courts last week in the case of Palestinian Shaymaa Abudalu whose appeal must be reconsidered by Thurs/Friday this week.

With the four visa appeals by Palestinians already considered in the past month, three or 75% of the four original denials were reversed.

The Department of Justice look like clowns who can't stand up their original decisions (which may have been dodgy anyway).

Ireland must follow suit immediately.

One obvious truth that Denmark is learning but Germany still (largely) refuses to acknowledge is there are millions of middle-class people from poor countries who desperately want to relocate to Europe and will immediately exploit any loophole to do so. infomigrants.net/en/post/67343/…
