  • Some second hand is cheaper but you also get a lot of people that want to maximise their earnings on selling their stuff, and often I see prices at above 90% of the new price.

    It’s more popular to buy things second hand because of lower climate impact. And then Temu (and other non-EU sellers) are hit with high import fees that make all the small shipments not worth it.

    You should read the article, it’s not that long.






  • Does anyone actually believe that EU could just cut all imports from Russia? We (EU) have been heavily dependent on energy from Russia for a long time and shifting away from this not something done over night. The important thing is to look at how much Russian energy has been cut out of EU usage, and then we have to make sure that continues until we, hopefully, reach zero within not too long time.

    The fact that the EU is still importing some energy from Russia should not be a reason for others to start to import from Russia.
