Organised for what?

Do we just take all their money and do what with it?

The best teams are the ones with the most points over 38 games, they deserve to win and if Arsenal do they have been the best team, period.

There's a fair bitta hate for Arsenal but they have been knocking at the door for a good while

It's a foul by feck! That's tough to take

All to play for! Draw good bet

Holidays, credit carded to the gils

No need when they're only €30

To be fair it hasn't been a game of mistakes by the ref

Largely anonymous

Galway have tightened up considering playing against the wind

Impressed with Roscommons ability to go direct

Eh? My parents were born post ww2 I'm definitely along with my siblings and friends with their families have more..

I'm being anecdotal but if you've evidence I'd like to analyse it

Fair enough.

The generation behind you have it worse.

Don't give me 'they have mobile phones and X boxes'. They are much less likely to own a home, have a secure, pensionable job and get decent healthcare and a pension from the state.

Parents never owned their home, they had health care and a state pension, there is no actual evidence that the state pension will not be available or health care is going to end.

You are making stuff up, if it happens we can talk about it then.

I'm personally bored of people who live off the state who are complaining about life being hard..

Decisions are made, they are choices people make..

If you want to own a home it's within your capabilities to do so, was it easier years ago? Maybe, but owning a home doesn't define you, I still don't own 'my home'
 Will I help my kids if I can? Yep but they can help themselves first

You writing for the Daily Mail these days?

Not English or over 58, not conservative nor having right tendencies not middle class so writing for them would be against their demographic ?

Your comments are straight out of their playbook. You've flipped concerns re the direction of travel for regular working folk to jibes about those on benefits, you left out the small boats, that's the other 'out'

So your world reset fix is what?

No one is saying inflation isn't through the roof and the price of food and other stuff is increasing but my own views are not based on what the numbers/stats are giving they are purely anecdotal, and I stated that

If we take the holiday thread on here or look at other threads people seem to be having decent lifestyles if we are to believe what's posted.

Alternatively, the neoliberal economic system is working absolutely fine & as was intended all along. The billionaires, oligarchs, cartels & corporations have hoovered up & bought up all of the politicians. The politicians then award them all of the government contracts that are going. Start the odd war or 2, to keep the military/industrial complex happy. Everyone who matters does exceptionally well out of the deal. The only people getting excluded are the ordinary punters.

So the question is what are you being excluded from? As in the ordinary punters?

Is this a serious question ? Maybe you're fine and dandy but a huge (and increasing percentage) are not, far from it.
Poverty on the rise, housing crisis galore, wages sitting still for years for folk as prices for everything sky rocket, health a shit show, the absolute need for food banks for huge numbers in employment  etc etc

We are living better than our parents

There is plenty employment, people just don't want to work

Minimum wage is far better than when I started

Peoples needs are greater because of social expectations

I grew up with no home phone, everyone 'needs' a mobile now, or a  car, 9 of us living in a three bedroom terrace house, one parent working.

Health services are worse I'll agree to that, that's been poor mismanagement growing population no ability to match the influx

Look my point is this, life is as dandy as ya want..

We are largely being excluded from opportunity.

You're being excluded for a few reasons..

Generational wealth, being allowed to fail and have the background to go again. Ties to society that will let you in, entrepreneurship, the ability to be successful in doing something that brings success, the above things (where you were born)  also accelerates that.

Unless you were born with the silver spoon stuck up your arse then you have to work at it, that's life, always been people that have had it handed to them and they are able to generate more wealth. Though some just piss it away

The grunts in life (95% of us) have to accept we have to achieve things differently, there's no leg up there's no quick way of getting there.

Communism doesn't work either, so sharing the wealth has never worked.

So, work ethic, healthy work balance and expectations come about to produce/provide what you're happy with.

You want more, then work for it. Complaining about something outta your control isn't going to fix it, this is a millennia problem.

So what are YOU being excluded from and why?

By some of these comments you'd nearly think Starmer was doing a good job. Britain's taxation levels are at 60 year high yet services continue to crumble. That's on him. Labour have been in power for 2 years with a massive majority and in that time have achieved sweet f**k all.

Nothing to do with "decent people" or "blaming Starmer". He has quite clearly led a useless government.

He has and so will the next and the next and the next, as it's been for a long time.
