    Yep, as an Irish jaywalker, I was shocked to find not only is jaywalking not allowed, but you actually get fined. For crossing the road with no traffic.

    Or even just being denied entry to a pub for racism or sexism. Its an offrnce not to leave immediately.

    On the bright side, peopke clean their shit upnin parks and beaches for the most part.










  • Population and GDP wise, its a bigger relative sum. However, it doesn’t really cost that. It meant they could expense equipment down immediately against tax. However, the usual way is to expense it over a number of years with a depreciation scheduke. So they have a lower tax bill now to encourage investment, but they will still pay the same amount of tax overall, just delayed.

    Its more that the scheme was not very successful. However, given that it effectively cost nothing except the borrowing costs on 20b, and maybe have cobtriubuted 10billion, it could be beneficial. In the context of budgetary concerns, a lower return than hoped is poor spending and policy. Framing it as a big giveaway is disingenuous though.
