| > No, the bar is very high as Ireland is one of the top tier countries in the world to live by almost any measure Like healthcare? Lol. What a disingenuous piece of manure. > "lack of political change due to an entrenched political class", which is patently untrue in Ireland You just claim it's untrue but offer no actual arguments. Your rabid offended defense of the country speaks volumes. > work in the medical field and am constantly frustrated at the medical and social services. DING DING DING. there it is. That's why you're offended. You're a crook who is part of the problem and has no perspective. > However, I've also worked around the world and know that while Ireland is in fact an outlier, it's a positive outlier compared to even the developed world. I like how you don't even say where. > he irony is palpable. Luckily those of us working to improve the country aren't discouraged by those on the sidelines offering only empty critiques My critiques weren't empty. They were poignant and your defenses were "no, lie". Kid level stuff and clearly very entrenched in maintain your current thing going. You're part of the problem. I'm not surprised you'd defend it as such. It's very easy for people who benefit from the corruption and bureocracy to want to keep it going. Healthcare in Ireland is one of the biggest and worst scams in the country and the only way to paint in a good light is to compare it to the US, which is the go to tactic. Shame on you for being willfully blind to the realities of people not well off because you're in on it. |
