You people worship mediocrity, or perhaps something even worse, I suspect, but I will leave that for a different battle field.

“every tiny little thing has to be meticulously coded, calculated, and paid for” You have never step foot into the real world if you think just one more set of variables is a valid reason to shut down an entire system. There are tens of thousands of pages of code and shipping regulations between all of the relevant governing bodies to ship tobacco from the UK into the US. And it wasn’t even changed, the required infrastructure, forms, communication channels, etc, were already established and in place.

But that even doesn’t matter – because in this particular example, as we have established, this problem does not extend equally to all isle of mann snuff businesses. If it were Trumps fault, how could you make sense of that in your head? No one could POSSIBLY be to blame except Trump? Again, I don’t even like him, but you are just running interference for the incompetence or malevolence responsible.

Do you really expect to sit here and tell me – that this could not have handled gracefully? There was NOTHING that ANYONE could have done, except for Trump?

A UK man whose country is being destroyed by anti-english bureaucracy, blaming everyone but, a chinese man pretending to be American telling me how ashamed I should be of my country, for a 10% tariff. Ridiculous. Piss off, have some pride in yourselves
