Last night.
In case you missed it.
Broadsheet on the Telly, featuring, clockwise from top left: host Neil Curran, celebrity accountant Vanessa Foran, guitar hero Jimmy Smyth and special guest, economist Eddie Hobbs.
Neil writes:
Eddie joined us to talk the Irish economy in a Covid and post Covid world. He shares his insight on Irish media, our soaring debt and unemployment and a huge need for reform. Vanessa also sang again.
2:00 – Vanessa’s 3 minutes and 10 seconds introduction of Eddie Hobbs
8:25 – “The mainstream media has become a shadow of what it was…”
12:00 – “We’re heading into an inflationary cycle”
13:00 – National debt & zero interest rates
18:50 – Where does it all end? The World Economic Forum & “The Great Reset”
24:00 – RTE & the death of mainstream media
37:00 – The Social Progress Index
43:30 – What does Ireland post Covid look like?
52:00 – “The indigenous Irish economy is feeble and weak, and not represented”
58:25 – “We are not going to have to pay for this with increased taxes”
1:01:00 – “The one question that gets my blood boiling” – what happens when the forbearance measures end
1:14:00 – “Is there going to be permanent damage?”
1:26:00 – Eddie’s one last takedown – The Irish Deep State!
FIGHT.
Last night: Staying In?
Nice idea to give the topics and time stamps :)
+1.
Very useful, thanks.
+1 simple but effective improvement
+1 would (selectively) listen again
Maybe he was right and we all should have gone to Cape Verde after all.
Eddies come a long way from his ‘Buy two houses, heck buy three houses’ stance back in 2007 before the crash of 08.
Pah!
Inflation and interest rates are linked.
When there is high interest rates we have high inflation; low interest rates = low inflation.
We can’t head into a both High inflation AND Low interest rates.
