Protest, protest, useless
100,000+ have marched the streets of Dublin today in protest of the economy and the government’s handling of the situation so far. The protest was organized by Unions but I can’t help but feel that a savings of 100,000 * €20 (a month union fee) would be better spent on anything other than unions.
How about a protest by union members who have got nothing for their money except an almost hyper inflation over the past few years. A real protest would be to stop paying your union membership and join with others who actually care about jobs, the economy and this country. Join with them and figure out a way to make a real change. Clogging up the streets of Dublin on a mild Spring Saturday afternoon has about as much impact as a punch from Willie O’Dea’s granny.
