It was a typo but honesty, I think it fits perfectly so amma keep it.

Iirc they imported Corn from the US since it was cheap. But corn is a odd crop, it's difficult to digest especially for the Irish who weren't accustomed to the crop. So it provided minimal nutrition for the Irish.

This was framed as "Look, we give them food and they're still starving! We're wasting money, giving it to the Yanks, all for nothing! This is clearly god punishing the Irish for their sin!"

I don't remember the exact responses by different groups in Parliament, infect Peel was probably wasn't ass harmful as the others.

Although, I think it's funny to know that the British PM at the time was named Peel.

Holy shit, I related to this so much. I played street hockey with my neighbors kids back when I was a kid.

We do the EXACT same thing here already.

I remember being on reddit and complaining thr everything was political. And holy shit Lemmy is like 10x more political. Like, I get it, they are important issues. But I don't wanna see it for every single post.

Oh, and let's not forget thr .ml users....

Rush Moscow.

Arrest the Oligarchs, install a new Democratic government, undergo a process of cultural change like Denazification but for Russia's imperialism.

Change Russia for the better.

I have both Lemmy and reddit.

The front page on Lemmy changes every week.

On reddit it changes daily.

The only new posts I see best the end of the day on Lemmy are all in German.

Don't get me wrong, Lemmy is great, but it's got a LONG way to crawl to get to reddit's level of success.

.ca mentioned les goooooooo!

So "I diagnose you with gay" was a real thing a doctor could legitimately say lmao.

The Irish potato famine wasn't exclusive to Ireland. It actually first appeared in the US and spread to Europe.

The issue was, unlike other nations, the Irish ONLY had potatoes as all other crops were cash crops for tax.

The British government could have 100% minimized the damage. But they didn't.

Good Job PM Peel. You fucked up.

So just abandon them instead of getting our government to actually invest in these places to make them less poor?

Thr own I used to live in wasn't much different to these isolated communities. But they received investment and it grew.

The only difference with those communities is they're indigenous.

My favorite has to be "read" (to read a book) and "read" (previously read a book)

Keep in mind, much of that space is uninhabited wilderness, or very sparsely spread rural communities.

A lot of them are indigenous communities too which are usually very poor sadly.
