Fuel shortages are not caused by the blockade of the Strait and Iran war. Not directly. It is about farmers and haulers blocking access to local fuel depos and Whitegate refinery - because fuel got too expensive and demanding even more preferential treatment. Fuel trucks cannot deliver new fuel to petrol stations, and those ran dry...

Eh, makes sense. Protests rarely get any attention or their message spread unless they do one of two things: * Be a large enough spectacles that people discuss it. * Cause a disruption to the average person’s lives forcing them to look into why it is happening. As stupid as this seems, it does both. The apparent stupidity is a spectacles. They are preventing the average folk from getting fuel is affecting their lives directly.

That is not the point they are making. They are saying that reducing specifically fuel tax is a bad idea because it prevents the price signal doing what it needs to do (reducing consumption of the scarce product). Most economists are specifically saying that governments should *not* be reducing fuel taxes or otherwise subsidising fuels right now because all that does is encourage people to keep using something that is currently too scarce to sustain current usage rates. Other stimulus, sure, but fuel taxes should not be dropped.

I guarantee to you it isn't. Because the other side of protest is you also need to on some level have a path to achieving your demands. Being disruptive and visible is only half the battle. Their complete lack of public support and targeting of critical infrastructure means that at some point the Irish government is going to lose patience with them and will have the full backing of the wider public to deal with this through a police batton based approach. Not concessions or by meeting demands. When the end result of a fuel protest is getting walloped round the head with a truncheon, your vehicles seized, getting lobbed into a cell all while the general public applauds and no reduction on fuel prices and Indeed the government threatening to remove support from your sector you have screwed it royally. This whole "protests must be inherently disruptive argument" while not entirely untrue gets constantly repeated these days with absolutely no consideration for the other side of the coin. Good protests movements do consider both sides of the coin.

civilitty 2 days ago +5

*Exactly*. When the US Civil Rights protests “disrupted” restaurants and busses, they didn’t do it to deprive anyone else of the services. They did it to provoke the authorities into overreacting, which when put on national television and press slowly but surely turned public opinion against segregation (a tactic developed in part by James Lawson who spent years training in non violent protest under Ghandi). No one is so emotionally attached to the topic of gas prices that they’ll use violence against these protestors. That’s just not in the cards, and they’re not going to gain anything by disrupting f****** *energy supplies* which effects literally everyone and everything negatively. Protests need to be run like military campaigns with strategic objectives. Anything else is just LARPing as an activist.

I mean, they rely on diesel in particular which spiked the most and most importantly fuel is a much larger share of their operating costs than everyone else so the total magnitude of a price increase is indeed far greater for them. It will also hit them indirectly in fertilizer and transportation costs long before they can harvest anything to start paying it off. It’s also much harder for them to pass along those costs because they are price takers… they have limited influence over the market price they are basically forced to sell at.

Splatter1842 2 days ago +13

Margins are razor thin for them as is, it's an extremely difficult business. With what money are they just meant to immediately switch to electric vehicles? Electric means buying brand new and many make so little from the job that they don't have that kind of money squared away to just buy a new vehicle on a whim. Nobody was putting money aside in case of a war in a far away country started randomly on another (idiotic) whim. If it was just a case of, "Oh, fuel is expensive now, guess I'll dip into my endless rainy day fund and switch to electric!" they'd be doing it. They're not. And the infrastructure to support so many electric vehicles suddenly taking to the roads is absolutely not there, it's in its infancy. And what even is there largely seems automatic with nobody present to sort things out when they break down, which given how many times I've seen drivers circling around as they wait for a spot to open with empty charge spots due to malfunction, appears to happen often. Just "...go for electronic vehicles instead" is not a realistic option.

For the uninitiated. This fuel shortage is not a direct result of the war in Iran (That comes later...). Farmers and hauliers (truckers in American) began protesting this week against high fuel costs. They requested the government lower the cost of fuel by lifting taxes on fuel, VAT, Customs Fees, Excise Duty and Carbon Tax. The protests began with farmers and hauliers blocking roads, but now they are blocking ports, oil depots and oil refineries. They are only allowing small amounts of fuel into the country to service hospitals and emergency services. The government came to an agreement with Farmer and Haulier associations today on reducing fuel prices, but will not reveal them until the protesters stop blocking the ports, depots and refineries, protesters said they will not leave until their demands are met. There is no central organisation to these protests, they are all grassroots movements with several different sets of ideas, some simply requesting an end to a few taxes and some demanding the demolition of green energy sources and mass deportation of immigrants. Riot Police have been deployed to certain locations but have done nothing as of yet, and the army is on standby to clear tractors and lorries (semi trucks in American) by force if necessary.

They're paying close to $8 a gallon over there. 60% of that price is tax and the government refuses to lower the taxes for them when they could easily help the people.

TraditionalAppeal23 2 days ago +12

Well it's around 45% now after they lowered the tax 2 weeks ago, but nobody even noticed they did that as the price just kept rising. But that is just the tax for private cars, for commercial vehicles the tax right now is around 20%. and for offroad vehicles the tax is around 8%, and that is what the farmers use. The big problem people have now though is buying the fuel at all. The protestors blocked the oil depots and now the petrol stations keep running out and refilling through out the day due to a combination of people panic buying and the petrol stations having to get refills from far away parts of the country because many fuel depots are blocked. A lot of people are more concerned with trying to get fuel at all rather than the price.

There is a cost point where it just doesn't make a lick of sense, if your fuel tax is double the fuel price that's probably something that should be looked at.

Lowering taxes on fuel means that the lost incomes needs to be replenished from the general tax income of the government. Basically this means a shift of money from people who do not pay for fuel (i.e. have no car or drive little) to people who drive a lot. The previous people are mostly the poorer part of the population, and the latter are mostly richer people and companies. So lowering taxes on fuel means a shift of money from poorer people to richer people and to companies. Just something to consider when making this choice.
