An honest discussion about immigration? Great idea! Kilkenomics @kilkenomics is coming up in November. That would the ideal platform for it, given the effects of immigration on economic outcomes. Why don't you go ahead and set aside a few slots for it David @davidmcw? Cheers.
David McWilliams: An honest discussion on population, underpinned by data, not emotion, is the only sensible way forward irishtimes.com/opinion/2025/0…
Again, no. 1 They are generally smart, productive, and good at their jobs 2 They are doing work that other people can't / won't do (you do not want your quant talking to clients) 3 They can bring in business, and you know exactly why (4 Men do these jobs too) And yes, many of…
It’s just Adult Day Care where the actual job is to be potential harem girls or if they are lucky wife for the top men at that firm. It’s 2025 version of the office secretaries in Mad Men.
No, it's like saying you play for an NFL team when you're a cornerback for the Patriots. (So she's not exaggerating at all.) Client relations is a front office job. It may not be the best-known or highest-paid role in the firm, but you still need good people in those positions.
Just found out the “finance girl in private equity” works in client relations. Like saying you’re the QB when you’re the water boy
Key phrase: “on your screens”. If it’s not on their screens, the left don’t care about it. If it doesn’t trigger their emotions, then it doesn’t exist to them. That’s why you’ll rarely - if ever - see them virtue-signalling over Sudan, Syria, Tibet, Xinjiang, or any of the…
If you can't speak up for little babies being starved to death on your screens every day, don't fool yourself into thinking you're a good parent when you kiss your own kid goodnight. You're not. You're a narcissist.
That's the solution to the fertility crisis. It's not cash incentives or lower tax - it's celebrity culture. Once her favourite celeb is having babies (and raving about it on Insta) and then her friends start doing it too, there won't be anything else she will be able to think…
I can’t imagine Taylor Swift’s handlers ever encouraging her to have children – no money in that for them. Also, it would trigger a white girl baby boom, which is perceived as negative for some obscure reason.
Boundaries are natural and should be respected by both sides. Good fences make good neighbours.
“GPS tracking on six wolf packs shows how much they avoid each other’s territory” The Anglo-Saxons knew this. One of their poetic words for a wolf was mearcweard, or ‘border guard’.
Jim @OCallaghanJim, Barry @BarryAndrewsMEP, You have both stated in public meetings that there is no relationship between immigration and crime: 'All cultures have crime. We know immigration isn't the problem.' If that was true, then the horizontal red bars in the chart below…
One for you, @IainDale. I’ll give you a clue. Look at the top country.
Imagine if you were the messenger who had been chosen to deliver the bad news to the dictator. You know he's not going to like what he hears, and you fear he might take his anger out on you, so what do you do? You butter him up first. You start off by telling him how wonderful…
He could just say, "Immigration is too high." But he has to signal to the elite class that is still a true believer.
Right, but even before LLMs this was a problem. English has always been taught as a form of art in school, not as a form of communication. Students are force-fed poems, novels, and Shakespeare, and then they memorise quotes and essays for the exams. They might get good grades,…
Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.
Teal gets it. Major turning points come with major uncertainties, and that can be a stressful experience. 'there is a massive crumbling of all the things people thought they could rely on, things that offered them security, stability, confidence, trust' youtube.com/watch?v=B6GLmM…
It took David @davidmcw 10 years to admit the truth about open-border immigration and its effects on the housing market. How long will take him to admit the truth about third-world immigration and violent crime?
Can’t wait for 2040 when David McWilliams can tell us that the concerns about the Irish being a minority were legitimate.
Toxic femininity is being generous with other people's stuff, and then patting yourself on the back for being such a kind, caring person. Ireland has a serious problem with toxic femininity. It's so bad that even the men suffer from it.
Tiresome and predictable. Always so generous...with other people's time, money and resources but NEVER want themselves inconvenienced. All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.
