      It’s a joke … laugh.

      Edit: Since there appears to be a language gap.

      The Irish were exploited by the English to the point where they exported large quantities of food to the British land owners and a million people died as a result of the famine which among other things is known as the Irish Potato Famine.

      Now they’re exporting large quantities of cash to United States Billionaires … the modern equivalent of an absentee landlord.

      I’m not Irish, I don’t speak for the Irish, but I daresay that they’d see the humour in this absurd situation, since otherwise their only remedy would be to give up and frankly I don’t see that happening any time soon.

      So … yes … it’s a joke. Laugh.
