FOUND IT! wanted to post this a few times over the years.
Suggesting Palestinian people have rights is antisemitic.seeing more and more people in the work Slack with little israel flags beside their name.
so tempted to stick a Palestinian one beside mine only I wouldn't last pissing time in the job if I did.
(yes, the capital P and small 'i' were intentional)
Barrel in some malt vinegar, black pepper, and hot sauce.Sardines update. Ate them last night. Went with the double recommendations of having them on toast and waiting until I was ABSOLUTLEY STARVING.
Got 'em down. But it's not a road I fancy travelling again soon. They tasted fine enough, but the visuals and overall cold, fat, fishiness of it all was not appealing.
But if you solved all of those problems, then how could anyone make any money off them?Here, can someone who understands economics explain how Ireland having a Sovereign Wealth fund is appropriate?
The country is still fairly fucked. Not 80s fucked, but several generations of colonial abuse followed by zero cash for another couple of generations fucked.
The point being, we have no functioning housing system, no functioning public transport system, fuck all infrastructure, and just the general results of a chronically bankrupt country are clear to see.
A Sovereign Wealth fund is saying: here's money, I'm going to invest it in something that I believe will have a good return. Could be anywhere, that's their point, they just are devices to make money from money.
And my point is, why not invest that money in Ireland, directly. Why don't we say we believe that investing in proper high density housing in the capital, and servicing that with public transport, will provide a return in investment that will generate money. As in, why don't we believe in ourselves being able to make money, as opposed to some prick in wherever the Sovereign Wealth fund puts it.
I'm asking here, because I don't understand economics I'm assuming.
I absolutely love fresh sardines, but have gone right off the tinned variety. My high-protein fishy snack of choice at the minute is pickled herrings from the Polish shopSardines update.

The brits have been gone for a hundred years, any of our problems are very much our own fault at this stageseveral generations of colonial abuse

The reason we have a sovereign wealth fund is someone took a notion that it'd be a good idea (maybe for the country, maybe for their career), and convinced other people to go along with them. That's how politics works, right? There's no Wise Old Elf sitting in Leinster House filtering out each cock-eyed proposal using science
I'd guess the reason people are for it is it's prudent financial policy for an individual writ large. Most financial advisors will tell you to have 6 months income stashed someplace in case the shit hits the fanRegardless, I'd hope that there would be someone filtering out cock eyed proposals. And I haven't heard anyone suggesting that a Sovereign Wealth fund is in any way controversial. Everyone seems to be for the idea.

ok - I'm reading about the specifics or the investment patterns of this fund. It is in fact investing (completely?) in Irish related endeavors, namely ones that are related to climate, Housing, Businesses, and Food / Agriculture.
So this isn't what I thought it was doing, I thought it was like funds like Singapore, Norway etc, where they invest internationally. It isn't like that. Crisis averted.
