Spinning out the "tech elites" trope is a bit of a jaded argument (and you're commenting on a tech forum?).

My experience of Ireland is outside of Dublin which seems to be where you've formed your negative framing of the country. The dialogue has regressed into anti-immigrant/anti-government sentiment. And no, it wasn't always that way in the same ferocity.

It might make you feel superior telling people they're out of touch as you're a "frontline worker" but sounds a lot like hubris.

This is the bubble I'm referring to. It's a delusion.

You may take it that way, but you own comments show just how out of touch you have been. I wonder if you've ever had a conversation outside your bubble in Ireland?
