    40| Canada is Not for Sale! US recession and RPZ rent control reforms
    Mar 9 2025

    Canada is once again the focus of the new US administration. The threat of tariffs lingers, and there's a more sinister suggestion of border changes around the Great Lakes. Is Canada being pushed to become the 51st state?


    Forecasts for recession in the United States are picking up, driven by the government slowdown. The new administration is talking about excluding the government from its GDP calculation. But does this really work?


    The Irish housing crisis continues to bubble in the background amid all this global tension. David has a new article in the Irish independent on the topic of RPZ rent controls. We discuss the merits of lifting this policy and the impact on renters.

    39| An End to Europe’s Peace? Wages on the Move Higher. Trump’s Gold Card
    Feb 27 2025

    Europe is now scrambling. The decades-long US security guarantee is falling apart. The US is siding with Russia and elbowing out its ally in Ukraine. Must Europe now build a common military force to fill the void? What’s Ireland’s role in all this?


    The CSO reports that wage growth remains high. As inflation has lowered, we’re now in a period of real wage growth. However, wage growth is still behind house price growth. New data also shows harmony between workers and employers. Has the WRC and Labour Court crushed the need for strikes?


    You’ve heard of the Coppers Gold Card, but what about one for America? That’s Trump’s latest idea. Many countries have similar schemes for a golden visa. You invest in a country, and citizenship rules are eased. But does it actually work?

  • 38| DOGE for Ireland? Vance in Munich. Must DEI die?

    38| DOGE for Ireland? Vance in Munich. Must DEI die?
    Feb 15 2025

    With Irish government spending surpassing €100bn this year, we ask whether a body for “government efficiency” is needed. David fills us in on an article he wrote in the Irish Independent this week. DOGE may not be the best fit for Ireland, but something is needed.


    US Vice President JD Vance spoke at the Munich Security Conference this week. In a landmark speech, he attacked democracy in Europe, sided with local right-wing parties, and called for more spending on defence. But is this hypocrisy from an administration which doesn’t believe it lost the 2020 election?


    Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes are being rolled back across organisations. We debate whether this is right, or just perpetuating the same people hiring people like them. Maybe there’s some merit in organisations hiring staff that reflects their customers?
