This article by Matt Bruenig touches on one of my big issues with any of these things. Unless directly related to their work, everyone should be protected from the threat of income loss being used to curtail speech. open.substack.com/pub/theargum...

i am so glad the irish PM decided to go over for (a few days before) paddy's day and glaze Trump. i mean, if he didnt go, Trump might've invited a far-right thug scumbag to use the actual date to attack our democracy and minorities. Cowards hiding behind "diplomacy" to justify not taking a stand.

lmao normally i get a bit defensive on the "ireland is just a tax haven" stuff because its not as bad as it used to be.... but now fuck it, yous are right. we are just a bunch of lying cheating snakes taking advantage of everyone else, we deserve all the insults, we are shameless lol

my prime minister is doing an ad spot for Trump's hotel instead of defending our fellow EU member states, get this spineless fuck off my screen jesus christ also hyping up irish planning system lmao it might be one of the worst in the world (i think the USA equivalent is California, full NIMBYism)
