"I Put Up Tariffs" - Marsh Family adaptation of Bob Marley and the Wailers, "I Shot the Sheriff" YouTube video by Marsh Family

This is "I Put Up Tariffs" 🎶- perhaps the first ever parody song (?) to make reference to the Smoot-Hawley Act of 1930. It's based on #BobMarley's legendary "I Shot the Sheriff" and sung from the point of view of #Trump, unleashing his frenzy of #tariffs on the USA & the world.

Wondering if Bluesky can recreate the good old days of Twitter

Nearly 3 years on, developers are trying (again) to convert space intended for a market in the Liberties into a Centra.

Myself and Patrick Costello have written in (again) to ask that it be rejected (again).

This space for a market was hard-won - it shouldn't be dropped: pidgeon.ie/keep-market-...
