9,000 women have just been given the green light to sue Disney for unfair pay practises, sexual discrimination.

This comes from the most woke company imaginable, who turned classics like Star Wars and ghostbusters into feminist pornography.

“ It appears Disney has grouped dissimilar jobs into the same group(s) and then seeks to hide behind that to avoid accountability for potential systemic pay discrimination”

Not only was there pay discrimination, the suit alleges, but also Disney were seeking to hide this practise of pay discrimination.

I think the whole thing is a farce, making sure women and men are paid the same(for various reasons that don’t include sexism) but I’ve never advocated for it like companies like Disney have. They’ve dug their own grave here and the results are comical.

What is being described as ‘gamergate 2.0’ centres around a company hired to inject wokeness into video games, sweet baby inc. The gaming magazines and news media will tell you it’s a harassment campaign against this company(https://www.wired.com/story/sweet-baby- ... gamergate/). Whereas in reality it came about because this company successfully cancelled a Brazilian man’s steam account(Kabrutusrambo) for merely talking about sweet baby inc injecting wokeness into games.

Won’t be as easy to point fingers and shout nazi as they have done for years because more people are now aware of their ridiculous yet effective tactics.

I watched a video on that ^^^
They screenshotted a tweet where Sweet Baby more or less threatening blackmail on everyone.
It was a case of "we hope you don't have anything in your past that could be used against you"
Of course if Sweet Baby was hired by a company, all potential unPC behaviour wouldn't be an issue.

In the case of offshore wind generation we might have dodged a bullet ..... but only if the taxpayer does not get caught for financial support and is not left holding the bag should such enterprise fail.

Any state that sells off it's assets is a stupid one....this is part of the green agenda to finish off fishing here aswell


The establishment in this country needs rooting out, they are now openly and permanently in the pockets of forgien businesses.....let the enterprise fail,but on Irish terms,we don't need every fucker in the world trying to profiteer off Irish assets.....a properly run country wouldn't let this happen....but Ireland is such an openly corrupt shithole,this sell off is cheered by the establishment and PC brigade 🤬

No physical asset is 'sold off' in the case of offshore wind generation, as I understand it.
Do I understand correctly?

A licence is issued to allow use of the offshore space to create the structures for the generation.
Provided that Ireland has a positive net value from the licencing, and no exposure to ANY costs associated with it (including tax breaks), even when the time comes to remove/replace the structures, then I would look at what are the net gains for Ireland.

Now when it comes to the terms of that licence it is a completely different matter.
Ireland should of course be the main beneficiary by far.
As I have not read the terms of the licence and who might be responsible for what costs, I cannot make a judgement.

Admittedly, based on track record, the gov in this country, regardless colour, have been anything but competent.

Literally same excuse PC brigade and establishment used to justify giving away oil and gas rights alongside sidelining out fishing industry to avoid financially supporting it

Ireland should be the only beneficiary....pay no heed to establishment and left....we owe private and outside industry zero of our resources and assets,and shouldn't sell out future to them
the gov in this country, regardless colour, have been anything but competent.
The big problem is,the government are competent....these aren't mistakes,for generations free staters have sold the country down a river and worked againest the interests of the public and for the establishment here......noone makes these mistakes consistently,these are an active decision to run country down for money,and only papering with a green agenda nowadays
