Colm O’Rourke: Una generazione di giovani crede che l’Irlanda non sia adatta a loro

>Housing is the single biggest problem of the last 50 years. Older readers of this newspaper had the prospect of buying their own house. It wasn’t easy but you decked out a couple of rooms and worked your way through it. Now houses have to be fully fitted out before anyone would move in.

…

> most young people prefer some course in college and Coppers on a Thursday night rather than getting their hands dirty on a building site.

Couldn’t resist getting the digs in there Colm

But don’t vote

Yes Colm, It doesent work for us. It only works for people who got lucky in the years prior to the bang in 07 and the one who are now in their 40s and beyond who bought up in the 00s and early 2010’s. Anyone born in the 90s beyond is screwed. Im 32 and living the stereotypical trappings of the day.

But sure look, our great political overlords in all of their smarmy wit and wisdom know whats best for us and they’ll solve the crisis and itll all be dandy!! sure even if people vote 60% for some fo of political change, we still get the same pony show!

And also, as your rightly aluded to – part of the problem is that my generation and the generation after me is that we are “lazy” and it’s our own fault… theres a huge undercurrent of that in this article. An old man who doesent get the modern world, and doesent want to either. It has become such a nasty country in the last 10/12 years. A land of haves and have nots. Fuck ye I have mine!

A generation of Hulk Hogans by the sound of it

A stop we voted for ffg again it can’t be that bad

Colm o rourke is essentially only concerned with Colm o rourke and continues to love media attention and will do anything to get it

Ireland doesn’t work for young Irish people. Never has, never will.

This is true in the States as well. I don’t blame them. None can afford a home much less an apartment on the kind of pay they can get. Wages have stagnated for decades.  And fewer go to college because it’s so damn expensive. This means a less educationally developed populace that then makes decisions like electing Donald Trump. 

I think it’s greed and short sightedness isn’t it. Everyone, at every point – who could – took the piss. Politicians. Bankers. Landlords. Builders. Plenty of immigrants have taken the piss too. We’ve gone from being a complete kip in the early 80s to rolling in dough to €8 pints. Swings and roundabouts. Someone has to pay. Here we are…

Isn’t o rourke a developer that lost money to NAMA
