#mastodaoine I have just received my first quarterly bill from Electric Ireland since the mandatory introduction of the ‘smart meter’. It is almost twice as much as any other bill and there is no way I can afford it. Our politicians are ineffective at best and accessories to fraud at worst.

There are two tiny islands by Newfoundland that now have the highest US tariffs in the world as they have all of 5800 people and no industry so they basically sell some fish to the US but don't buy much in return.

Thing is, it used to be a french territory so legally, they're France. They're all French citizens, they're in the EU, they're part of the Eurozone, all that fun stuff.

So the EU has three different tariff rates applied to it because the US is bad at geography.

In a hilarious case of "so this was *definitely* written by someone from Ireland!", I've just been asked to take part in a feedback survey, where the 5-point scale goes 'Poor - Fine - Good - Very Good - Excellent'.

"How was it?! "It was fine." Ouch!

The only way to make this more Hiberno-English would be to change "Good" to "Grand". #MastoDaoine

So let's see.

- The tariff texts all seem to have come from chatGPT
- They made up what they thought other countries have as their tariffs by dividing the trade surplus by the exports instead of actually looking up what the tariffs were
- They tariffed their own military base
- And they tariffed two islands solely occupied by penguins.

And this is what is going to mangle our economy? Well, I can't wait for all this to show up on the six-one news, right? 🙄

7 dogs went in to advanced guide dog training yesterday. 2 litter mates to Yohan (Yam & Yasha) - they knew each other instantly though they haven't seen each other in over a year.

He's in the same kennel as Vicky, another new arrival that day. They're getting on well. And Valko is her litter mate who arrived as we were handing over, he was brought up within a couple of miles, so they know each other through fundraising.
