I USED TO BUY BUTTONS FROM THE UK I have just ordered £150 of them from a guy here in Bulgaria Its not the end of the world for the UK to lose £150 of button exports - but how many tens of thousands of other small businesses in the EU are finding new suppliers.

@edwardbernthal160 - Exactly - I did not know there was a manufacturer of natural horn and shell buttons 100km from where I live. I have been buying them from the UK and I had no reason to look. But shipping costs went from £12 for 1kg order to £46 for 1kg order. And this must be replicated all over the EU. I ordered yesterday, they will arrive today. They are actually cheaper per button anyway and the transport is €6... Even if the UK joined the EU again tomorrow that small business has lost a customer.

@edwardbernthal160 I 100% agree with you. I am very anti-globalisation. But the transition should be done with incentives and taxes to allow people to transition to a more local economy - not by just wiping out half your market over night and making thousands of people unemployed. It should be done in a thought out and structured manner.

@brigjay123 QUOTE "The fact is the world will become increasingly smaller and more interconnected unless some major global disaster occurs to set it all back" Laughs in climate change - DOH.

@brigjay123 - You really not put 2 and 2 together yet??? We need to STOP GLOBALIZATION in order to stop uncontrollable runaway climate change making organised civilization by humans impossible. You cant keep eating your avocadoes from Mexico and your cucumbers from Turkey and throwing away a T shirt made in China after 5 times wearing it cos they are so cheap its not worth washing it let alone repairing it. Globalization is the primary driving factor in climate change.

@brigjay123 - Only we dont have time to incrementally improve the current system. Its a bit like dealing with the pandemic, you need to lock down until a vaccine is developed to stop it from running out of control THEN you can go back to normal with improvements. Also these giant global corporations are destroying societies - I don't have time to go into that. But that needs to stop. The world will be a staggeringly different place in 30 years Either it will be essentially 3/4 uninhabitable and in the middle of a global war and society collapses globally and fights for the livable parts. OR It will be radically different from today - information will be global but manufacturing and production gets will be much more localised. America will have a civil war in the next 30 years most likely 15 to 20 years from now and that will shake the globe. There will be global treaties on taxation of corporations and billionaires in order to stop other countries going the same way as the USA. Neoliberalism, globalisation and capitalism are in their very end game - they wont be here in 30 years. I guess some kind of environmental socialism will replace them. But whatever happens - there will be blood and lots of it.

@brigjay123 - Just watching a video - it has already started, Biden is instructing that all US Tax money be spent on US manufactured goods... Search: "What "Buy American" Would Do for America? (w/ Richard Wolff)"

@brigjay123 - Your comments spurred me to have a look at what Chris Hedges had been saying recently - I cant post a link cos YT deletes them now. But search for this if you would like some very sharp insights into the current state of the global society. "Chris Hedges “Politics is a Game of Fear” If you don't know Chris Hedges, he is the person most likely to take over Noam Chomsky's mantle.
