I agree totally. The right want to centralise power and the left want to diffuse it.

If Facebook aren't going to moderate their platform then surely there is some mechanism to pull them up.

I just got "Thank you for your attention to this matter" in a work email.

And he surrounds himself with layers of high income employees that benefit from that wealth and interfere with any attempts to stop the music.

Just pandering to the FG mantra that profit making companies do a more efficient job than public services. How’s that working out for waste management, the work of local councillors, building infrastructure?

It’s concerning that Michael O’Leary can seemingly just call up The Irish Times and have inflammatory nonsense like this published that includes derogatory remarks about public officials.

There’s no genuine newsworthiness here — just provocation.

Do better Irish Times! Please.

Ryanair boss said Mr Jacobs’ ‘elbows out’ style was what was needed in the public sector to get things done

It's like he imagined Colonialism, but backwards, and also imaginary.

"That's a really insightful observation"

Indeed a chirpy aggreable Ai is not going to challenge any terrible views.

There's a YouTuber I used to follow who was doing his own research with Grok on British immigration, he basically forced it to give him answers that aligned with his views.

"went bankrupt" makes it sound unintentional.

That's some gold-plated nonsense from Martin.

They can't take responsibility for anything.

They hate Unions.
They actively fire people who try to form them, so I reckon moving to legislate for protection for Unions should be a priority.

They have deep pockets to resist this or course and have courted and captured governments.

Dangerous times.

It's an old tweet, but I'm sure his views won't have changed.

I'm not sure that's even bad value given the price of buses and cost of drivers.

Maintaining public buses for this use would be tremendously expensive.

It's quite difficult to get off them, as they've thoroughly abused their dominant position to establish monopolies.

Acquiring WhatsApp, Instagram, etc

It seems like Federal antitrust laws evaporated after the Microsoft case.

Whatever happened to monopoly laws and legislated breakup of companies.

I guess they fixed it so that no longer happens..

I'm not surprised they've pivoted to blaming "legal" immigration now also. Very transparent.

I'm not sure how they expect to argue how this wasn't totally in their power to control, but they'll pretend it's all a shock to them.

Quite bizzare how they seem to think this will work out favourably.
