Irish govt realizing that if it doesnt change something soon, all of the irish will throw their tourist and entertainment euros... across the border.
Refreshing to see tha even at the govt level, there is competition of ideas.
- refurb 5y agoI spent a good chunk of last year in a developing country that locked down. The economic consequences are still being recognized. Drive around the prime tourist areas and all the storefronts are empty. Factory workers are going back to their small towns and waiting it out, so factories can’t find workers. Western companies are canceling orders, etc. They are learning you can’t turn chunks of the economy on/off. Every change of rules mean investors and customers eventually just “sit and wait it out”. Plus the cost of restarting factories, bringing tourism back, etc isn’t small, so when countries go back and forth the smart move is to just sit back and wait.
- hwers 5y agoCompetition at the government level feels like a big argument against trying to unify the world into a one world country.
- IG_Semmelweiss 5y agoAs it should be. Look at the EU . We should be glad that bureaucratic nightmare (created with good intentions, all should be said) hasn't led to war just yet.
