    Tému incoming.

    Dropshippers delighted. They pay three euro for 1000 pieces of shit rather than 1000 people pay €3.

    Still great to see.

      Oh yeah, that’s the “2 identical pens” scenario around the middle of the infographic.

      Still great to see.

      Why?

        Because we consume bullshit that is produced for fuck all and shipped across the world for sunsidised shipping for nothing. Anything worth buying wont be impacted by three euro. Anything impacted by three euro isnt worth buying.

        Stop sending money out of Ireland and the EU for single use cheap shit that could be found within Ireland. Build our businesses.

            Aluminium for one. Pharma is huge. We have a huge arts and fashion sector that would be supported by this.

                Good work grabbing onto one thing I said. We could very easily take a stance on Aughinish, big tech, consumer rights, unions, and loads more but it involves having a spine

                What does this cost you?
