@Muinchille@henno21 The guy who sells the chair is just the middle man collecting tax from the consumer on behalf of the government. The VAT is the final item to be added after mark up, means seller has to squeeze his margin to remain competitive. So seller and consumer both are shafted.
@McgBern@Nick_Delehanty Yep. We relied a lot on russian refined products only to impose sanctions, we then fund Ukraine who then target russian refineries. Meaning if this war was to be resolved over a weekend we’ve fucked ourselves anyway. Couldn’t make it up.
