It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

If this is Ireland, as suggested by the Irish Times, it's at least possible that the parent is themselves struggling to pay rent and genuinely needs help.
Yeah, but parents that are themselves struggling don't typically go to the press to shame their children into paying up or moving out.
The Irish Independent is like the Irish New York Post too so it's likely this person is content with the situation. Not their children. Housing in Ireland is dire, rents reaching €2000 a month and houses being bought up by international funds. For this ragebait post, there is also parents are going deep into debt for the rest of their lives and moving out of their own homes to give their own kids a chance to start families. Of course the solution in such hardship is obvious them, become intensely racists and fascist.
