CatBlack @catblack9.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Relevant Contracts Tax in Ireland. Customer deducts tax and pays you net amount and pays revenue balance as pre payment of tax. Used in construction, forestry and meat processing. Alternatively, whatever the tax rate is of every payment made to you and bung it in a deposit account 🤷🏻♀️ 021
CatBlack @catblack9.bsky.social · 29/06/2026'The United States did not predict the stability that Taliban rule would yield or the relative leniency the group would show towards Afghans who had opposed it.' Well that's alright then. Let's ignore approx 50% of the population denied basic human rights. I'm alright Jack, pull up the ladder FFS 000

CatBlack @catblack9.bsky.social · 12/04/2026This is about the money. He has realised you can charge a toll. Obvs in the case of Hormuz the Iranians will have something to say to any ship passing through but don't discount the possibility of a double toll, the Americans and Iranians. + what works in one narrow waterway will work in another! 000

V disturbing from @journal.ie www.thejournal.ie/ireland-fuel...thejournal.ieHow Ireland's far-right movement got involved in the fuel protests and tried to hijack themWhile many are protesting fuel costs, far-right actors and international figures are using the movement to push anti-immigrant narratives. 1104
Reposted by CatBlackLiam Carson @liamcarson.bsky.social · 11/04/2026The fuel protests in Ireland are a Trojan Horse that aim to bring fascism to Ireland. We are witnessing the birth of an Irish version MAGA. The more you look, the more obvious it is that many of the key spokesmen (and they are all men) are dangerous anti-immigrant far right agitators.Wake up. 32750254
