And she's like, no, the banks didn't give ordinary people money.
The banks didn't do that.
There was no mortgages.
Like, how the fuck did you get a house?
So if a person had a job, a relatively stable job, which is what my da and my ma had, the council would literally just give you a loan with fuck all interest on it.
They would just give you money to buy or build a house.
That loan was backed by the government.
So you didn't have a bank breathing down your neck if you missed payments.
And my da missed loads of fucking payments.
And nothing happened.
No threat of eviction.
Nothing.
Why did that exist?
Because a social net existed.
It was government policy.
The government policy was, it is a good idea if lots of people have their own homes, because then we have a stable society.
In order to have a society, we must have a stable social net first.
That's the most important thing.
And then with that social net and the social contract, you can have the confidence of collective bargaining, strikes, protests.
fucking unions my dad was in a union my dad worked for Aer Lingus when it was a state company owned and controlled by the state and they had unions and if they weren't happy with their employment conditions they went on fucking strike and their demands were met and people couldn't fly but what it also meant was full-time contracts stable secure job pension a person who the government could give a loan to for a fucking house see that's a system
