But he's very rich therefore his views on something he knows nothing about must be reported widely 🥴

They don't. But different countries export different things so the effective tariff will end up different for each country.

Pharma and semiconductors not yet tariffed. That % will change.

15% expected for now on both, but Trump pulled a figure of 250% out of his ass today for pharma 🤷‍♂️🙄

Who knows where we'll all end up.

Coriander and hummus products recalled over listeria The Food Safety Authority of Ireland has issued a recall alert for a number of potted coriander products along with a single hummus product due to the possible presence of listeria monocytogenes.

What's with all the listeria news? Is RTÉ just reporting everything because of the one big issue one recently, or is something actually going on?

Has the been a real upsurge in recalls?

And sadly, the deliberate "dangerous foreigners" narrative is what's making some people afraid of the city when the reality is migrants are more likely to be the victim than the perpetrator.

Spent the second half of the 80s in Trinity, the next 30 years working on Sheriff Street and walking home along Talbot Street daily.

In my mid 50s now (an ould fella? 😆) and still feel safe just about everywhere in town. Maybe it's just familiarity.

I like London a lot. Never feel unsafe. Mind you I know the parts I visit well. And there's loads of it I've never been to.

I've only ever been pick pocketed in Amsterdam. And had it attempted in Barcelona. Never in Dublin.

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

For thousands of years, we have been parasitised, exploited and destroyed by elites. Our survival depends on overthrowing them.

Oh,I didn't know about the Eason-Dubray-Gutter connection.

7) Copenhagen is the answer to the question “what if you had as much money as Ireland and decided spent it on stuff that made the place better?”.

Does it count the socks going in and the socks coming out again and report any discrepancies?

Confirmed to be a POS.

Nothing like a TV aerial on a roof to show modernity 🤣

Sounds a bit cringe 🥴

The government promised to introduce a default 30kmh speed limit in built-up areas. That would have saved lives. But now they've broken their promise.

Does this mean he supports restrictions on motor traffic and better cycling facilities for children so they're not dependent on their parents to get some fresh air and visit their friends? 😜

Trump hates the EU. Humiliating imposition of a one way deal, giving a (marginally) better deal to the UK, all parts of a plan to weaken the blocs credibility. The EU hadn't much choice this time but it needs to toughen up and become more self sufficient.

Hi I'm a movie cop just weeks away from retirement. I'm going to get shot 😕

If you don't count the caddy's strokes maybe it's true

I agree with you. I'm not happy but I can't think how we could have done any better, for now at least.

The priority now for the EU and especially Ireland should be to reduce our dependence on the US, and any single country for that matter. Not just walk away. We set a pace that suits us.

I have to hope the EU is playing the long game.

The agreed investments and purchases are nothing.

$600bn EU investment in the US is 4-5 years of normal fdi, so nothing there.

Buying $750bn of military equipment was likely happening anyway.

The big loss for the US will be long term EU plans to reduce dependence on America.

Always a tradeoff. We might be strong enough but is it worth the trouble? I don't know the answer but maybe the EU has calculated the cost of the 15% tariff and considered it the best option. Relative to other "deals" the US has done it's OK. It gives relative advantage to EU exporters?

Premature to celebrate? Do we even know yet where pharma and semiconductors will end up?

He might. And his demands will have to be considered again. One has to hope there are some red lines somewhere.

They will presumably be gauging member states and the popular response to this round before deciding where those lines are.
