March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmCurrent Inflation is being driven up mostly by fuel prices,
If we switch to Nuclear power and give greater incentives to buy electric cars (including subsidising and prioritising lithium battery production) this problem will subside substantially over time.
Also, many countries are going for the practical short term measures of taxing fossil fuel company profits to discourage extortionate profiteering…
Overall though, Society’s rejection of Nuclear power was a massive mistake, and the environment has payed dearly for it as we continue to rely on fossil fuels for our electricity.

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmDon't go to Dublin. It's not safe anymore. We are being invaded by men from the middle east and Africa. Dangerous times ahead.

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pm"I'm from Ireland, and English is only my third language!!" fishing for compliments?
every monkey in Ireland speaks English 🙃

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmYour English is excellent and I hope you set the nasty commentor who assumed you were American straight. People assume I'm American by my accent as well and I'm not I'm European they ate often surprised even when I go through customs and they see my passport.

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pm@prettyawesome the video is super helpful. I am sure it is helping all people wanting to move to Amsterdam or dublin. I have one question. how about the language barrier in work place ? Can you just work with English. And what about other companies in Amsterdam?

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmoooh waouhhh, I am pretty sure we worked for the same company in Dublin! I recognised the office and we had the same temporary accommodation. I took exactly the same video in the bathroom lmfao!
You must had a lot of fun!
Super video 😀

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmI live back n forth btw US and Ireland, and I laughed out loud when you said there was only ONE day on which you didn’t have to wear a jacket… I feel vindicated, and I am going to show this to my Irish husband who says Ireland has lovely summers. 😂 Also, as an American, I can tell you’re not American (though your pronunciations mainly are). A wild guess would be that Spanish and Danish (or maybe German) are your first two languages…😁 Am I even close?!❤

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmDublin is a dangerous city. Extremely expensive too. Alwsys raining too. Mass immigration has also ruined the true nature of the place.

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmAwesome helpful video & that’s impressive – it’s my goal to be trilingual! Where are you from? I’m not sure if you’ve mentioned it in other videos or something, sorry.

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmCrazy that people are now overbidding for rentals =/ When I was looking a few months back…I was also thinking, "Should I overbid?" because it was so competitive. Luckily, I didn't have to. But thanks for sharing, stumbled upon this while doing research (and looking for inspiration for future video ideas about NL). Nice to see another expat YouTuber in AMS/NL too (there aren't too many), keep it up!

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmThanks for the video!!! I'm looking for a job in Amsterdam and a place to stay, yeah is not so easy!

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmYour YouTube page says your location is the United States. I think this is why people think you're from the US. You clearly have a non-US accent to a native English speaker from the US, but I think this may be the source of the confusion. Thanks for the informative video!

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmHey Lenny great video! Really nice of you to share your experiences and impressions! I hope to get to the point where you are some day. Just getting into tech/software and I think I will need some experience first.

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmHey this is amazing content ! I really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
I would also appreciate if you could touch upon social circles in Dublin (or other cities). How do you actually make a circle of friends and what kind of activities one could get engaged in?
All the best!

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmLove your videos! I'm moving to Amsterdam soon for work as well. I hope you can share more tips on how to find an apartment 🙂

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmFunny I’m thinking of switching to Dublin. Currently not seeing so many entry roles. Would you be willing to refer if you have any entry PM/strategy roles? Toda raba

So if you're not from USA then it means you from Europe

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmOutside AMS English is less popular. AMS is so well connected by train especially with Eurostar!

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmWow this video was really good and super helpful to me personally, thank you! I just moved back to my hometown after a year living in Portugal and I'll probably move again soon. Ireland and the Netherlands are definitely two countries I'm interested in (other ones are in my list too).
Also damn English is your third language! Congratulations! I definitely assumed you were American too. I would say I'm pretty fluent in English but I do not sound like that hehe (ma vabbè hai vissuto a Milano, sai come parliamo inglese)

March 12, 2023 - 1:39 pmI've been to both cities, and it's a toss-up which is better, although Amsterdam is the more convenient location. As far as saying where you work, I don't blame you for not saying. If anyone knows my name, just Google it and my employment is right there. My income isn't much of a secret either, but if anyone asks I'll tell them there's no need for both of us to cry about it, before telling them. I'm in I.T. in California. It's cheap for me because my house is paid in full and work is extremely close (like five minutes away). There's no reason to move. Good video.
