    Big increase in climate related spending versus health, housing and infrastructure. Not exactly a recipe for growing a prosperous cohesive society, as indicated by the projected drop in living standards.

    Let’s be honest, could they get any worse for young people than they already are, apparently the government believes there is still room for further shitification, and they can deliver it in spades.

    We are facing into a mass exodus of our young graduates and that is likely to worsen under these government diktats. I don’t recall a mandate for any of this.

  2. Well if that’s the case then we are truly fucked come 2030. We’ve seen anything but ‘improvements’ for most people’s living standards over the last 5 years.

    Good, back to feudalism and living off the land.

    Look lads it’s that decline I’ve been talking about for years.

  5. I’ve been around a while and forecasting the future is an interesting thought experiment, but that’s all it is.

    I was told back in the late 80s that computers will take all the jobs – they didn’t – and that I should not rely on a state pensions – which is most likely true.

    In the 90s I was told about the end of history and war – both turned out to be complete nonsense

    In the 00s I was told that we never had it better and the party will continue…we all know how that turned out.

    I will never forget that on the 31st of December 2019 I read about the outbreak of an odd disease in Wuhan, China ….

    Very much a clickbait article. Predicting living standards for the next decade is like predicting the weather for then.

    Shows how much FF/FG feel that they have the elections on lockdown now. They have no reservation in revealing that our quality of life is going to keep deteriorating until we’re in the grave.

    Lot of people confusing cost of living and living standards. Yes Ireland is insanely expensive and everything from houses to biscuits are beyond overpriced. However, we also earn very high wages compared to the rest of the world so we have access to just as many comforts, safety, frequent public transport etc as almost anywhere else on earth.

    Go to the northeast of Brazil and you can buy a house, go out for food, get the bus etc very ‘cheaply’. The standard of all of those are far far below what we have access to here though.

    Yes everything is, has been and is continuing to get very expensive. Yes our standard of living is high and has gotten better over the last 40 years.
