Neo Varadkar opened out the summer lockdown earlier than planned and then swanned out the door, now trolling the process and trolling Voldemartin and the CMO stirring further the mismanagment and mistrust.

Lad should be stripped of that doctor title.

The feeling when on a walk, you see signs like "keep out" "danger" "enter at your own risk" and you're not sure whether they are halloween decorations or public health warnings

The weekend we went on Phase 3 there were 100 kids in Poppintree Park having organised GAA training. 50 or so there today.

Isn't all non-elite sports training supposed to be banned in Phase 3? I know touts out n all, but still, where do I shop them?

no, I think its fine once its outdoors and once the group can be managed by putting kids in to groups of 15 or less. Or, into pods.

I suppose I oscillate daily between being annoyed by the "when we get back to normal" gang and the "you must adjust to the new normal" gang. There are often unacknowledged agendas going on in both cases.

About the recession thing - I hear more economist pricks providing dire warnings about the terrible times ahead than I hear ones minimising it's likelihood so I'm in the camp of refusing to be cowed into agreeing with things like increased austerity measures when I know that money can currently be borrowed at interest rates that are practically zero.

when is this happening? FFS

Our GDP is fine, borrow money to take care of everyone for a few months, pay it back over 25 years so no one notices the additional taxes it takes, impose fucking level 6 restrictions and just get it done.

Alternatively just admit that people don't matter and open everything up and tell people they're on their own.


Christ.


So anyway, Christmas cancelled, yeah?

Our GDP is fine

Our GDP is a massive lie bumped by FDI tax filtering systems.

It's a fiction like how race is a fiction. We still have to deal with the consequences of people acting upon it.

Yeah fair enough. Shite position to be in really, betting on a fake hand with the kids picking up the tab.

I like the idea of that, but beyond a certain size zoom becomes impossible, right? You can't split off into little sub-conversation of 4 or 5 people like you do in real life
