LOL if the best that you can say about the budget is what is written here then it was a terrible budget.

Waste of money. All they needed to do was send an alert to BTC and Aliv to put on all cell phones. But no that way they wouldn't be able to help their friends out.

Every year the Government projects a time in the future when we will have close to a budget surplus. Then something happens and it doesn't occur. These idiots have no idea what to do to make the changes necessary to set the country up for economic growth. All they can think of is saying words they know they won't be around to deal with when they don't come true, and also set up a committee so they can get some more coffee and doughnuts on the back of taxpayers. And the ideas that the committee recommends would not be looked at or considered as they have no plan to do anything to change the trajectory we are on.

I am sure that these landlords have nothing to worry about. Our Government has always brought in more draconian laws to try and enforce laws that they are unable to do. All that will happen is in another 5-1o years they will have a real property amnesty. I suggest no one pays RP as you receive no benefit from paying on time, only those who don't pay will have a reduction put to the amount they owe.

Ha ha don't worry plenty new taxes coming after the election, and then a huge give away again before the one after. At some point it will end, but then they can blame the IMF for the drastic reductions in Civil service and the sale or closure of most state owned entities. Also the previous Governments who got them into it, but under no circumstances will they be the ones to blame.

I am trivializing it because any nation that can not run a power company for profit, when the customer pays some of the highest fees, and new developments must buy the transformers that BPL uses, is a joke and obviously unable to run anything with sense, and as such i don't hold much hope for us to do what is necessary to get out of the mess we are in.

This is obvious, but this has been said for at least 20 years and still whoever is in power is unable to manage to even get remotely close to this. But don't worry, i am sure they will be thinking of some new taxes to help deal with any shortfalls.

So they want to make it seem like they are legalizing it as election is coming, when in reality nothing of the sort.

Well they worked in China, but thats because they really locked down and people followed the rules,

Yes it is your choice whether to take the vaccine, bit if you don't you don't get the benefits. Its also your choice not to take a drivers license test, but if you don't you cant drive a car (well legally). Also since when is someone who has had Covid unsuited for the vaccine? This is only the case if you literally just had it. Finally no, the EU does not allow people to travel who have had Covid, though they are implementing travel for those vaccinated, and the US is as discussed in the comment above.
