Best case scenario, they all return to work on the 10th Feb as currently planned and there is just a bit of a back log (both in orders being produced and in getting stuff shipped due to a reduction in capacity) but still a logistical headache.
Worse case, this drags on (for even a few more weeks) and causes serious problems with a lot of companies supply chains which can effect a large range of people.
Also, the capacity being removed on the east bound trade (mainly for ocean transportation) will result in a lack of capacity going west bound in about 4-5 weeks times which can impacts on the cost of Irish (and European) businesses selling into Asia.
Again, if this was in any way prolonged, it could have serious negative impacts to companies this side of the world and in particular in our own back yard.

One take away from it, given the organic nature of the boom bust cycle, the boom part in particular, it kinda softens for me the idea that FF were solely to blame.
Sad thing though is the fact that it takes such skill, intelligence and dexterity to climb out of a bust and FG are getting annihilated for pulling it off.

His book is half life principles and half work principles, he could be talking about any field at all. I think it's actually split in half so you can read one or the other seamlessly.
I was going to say you can work away on my audible but I it was one of the only ones I've listened to via the bros account unfortunately, worth a look though.

You might find his podcast with Sam Harris interesting where he explicitly questions Murray's methodology and continued persistence to push a debunked theory with racial connotations while working for some of the most right wing think tanks in the US. It's also been debunked by other experts in the field.
Anyone who calls themselves the ideological ally of someone who continues to spout this
SPOILEROriginally posted by CharlesMurray View PostWe are silent partly because we are as apprehensive as most other people about what might happen when a government decides to social-engineer who has babies and who doesn’t. We can imagine no recommendation for using the government to manipulate fertility that does not have dangers. But this highlights the problem: The United States already has policies that inadvertently social-engineer who has babies, and it is encouraging the wrong women. If the United States did as much to encourage high-IQ women to have babies as it now does to encourage low-IQ women, it would rightly be described as engaging in aggressive manipulation of fertility. The technically precise description of America’s fertility policy is that it subsidizes births among poor women, who are also disproportionately at the low end of the intelligence distribution. We urge generally that these policies, represented by the extensive network of cash and services for low-income women who have babies, be ended.
The government should stop subsidizing births to anyone, rich or poor. The other generic recommendation, as close to harmless as any government program we can imagine, is to make it easy for women to make good on their prior decision not to get pregnant by making available birth control mechanisms that are increasingly flexible, foolproof, inexpensive, and safe.
The other demographic factor we discussed in Chapter 15 was immigration and the evidence that recent waves of immigrants are, on the average, less successful and probably less able, than earlier waves. There is no reason to assume that the hazards associated with low cognitive ability in America are somehow circumvented by having been born abroad or having parents or grandparents who were. An immigrant population with low cognitive ability will — again, on the average — have trouble not only in finding good work but have trouble in school, at home, and with the law.
in spite of being proven wrong repeatedly is not someone that should probably be referenced too often.

Scotland were the better team with the ball, we were miles better defensively though.
Stander, Furlong, Henshaw, VdF and Cooney all had v good games. Not sure many others did more than 5/6 out of 10 really.
Tough game to have much of an impact on I think. We got a little ragged a few times which suited Scotland too much.

Waste Management Tournament is great banter. I think I'll mosey on down there next year.
Am in Phoenix end of the month, the stadium should still be up. Tempted to play it but a round is 350 USD!!This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide To... View PostThink it might be time for folks to decide who they want leading the next gov and give first prefs accordingly rather than exploring next level thinking. It's looking like a nailed on FF/SF gov right now. Maybe that's the outcome people want, but I doubt it's a good outcome as both of those will govern together in a race to see who can give all the money away and its hard to see how that will end well. Not that there's anything wrong with spending, just think their actual spending plans are awful. FF wants to spend it all increasing the tax burden on workers to fund the rather well-off pensioners who are their main voting base, and SF wants to increase the tax burden on workers to fund non-workers. The first will lead to long-term awfulness and seems fundamentally unfair. Not sure the second makes a lot of sense either given that any unemployment still left is quite willful unemployment as the economy is at full-employment.
Ff as leader will mean the baton been passed from one to the other rather than inviting the shinners in, personally I’d like to see them involved to see can they do as they plan to do

No matter what happens, if you're a mid-high earner, you are going to keep paying taxes at a punitive rate. As Hitch says, there is not a single party out there looking out for your interests."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

Latest opinion polls
FF 24%
SF 24%
FG 21%
In the space of the two surveys, Fine Gael is down 9 per cent and Sinn Féin up 11 per cent, confirming a trend in other polls.
I think I may have got this wrong:
Originally posted by Denny Crane View PostI think due to end of the troubles there's a massive upsurge in a sort of benign support of SF amongst young people (say <23). I guess they've a sort of airbrushed view of history. Being pro SF/pro IRA is in. I'm sure they'll grow out of it once they get jobs.Originally posted by Murdrum View PostSF have been trending quite poorly electorally in recent years unless the upsurge has begun in the past couple of years and/or those championing SF simply don't vote.
