  • Yeah I probably should’ve specified “grey” market, something that is sorta controlled for all the shit in the soil and plants, that’d be decent. Smokers though, I don’t get them. Pouches are already cheaper even when they come from big companies and you don’t stink, don’t inhale smoke, and don’t ruin your teeth and nails, maybe get cancer down the line bc of the stuff that interacts with your saliva and that’s it.

    Russian invasion had a silver lining by getting people to boycott a lot of companies, big tobacco included, but it’s still massive. I wonder if there will be tobacco wars like in the old days of the british empire in my lifetime sometimes, not because war is cool but because tobacco is so destructive in more ways than one.



  • I feel lucky to live in a place where this black market existed for ages before prices went up lol, it’s mostly chill, old granny-looking vendors just trying to make a buck. Border patrol gets countered the same way it always was, either corruption, agricultural drones, or both, and it probably helps a lot we grow a bunch of our own tobacco.

    Like if it didn’t go completely untaxed I’d rather have a black market than a market where big tobacco gets even richer.
















  • Why tolerate the intolerant? They can host whatever they want, but there’s no reason not to exclude them if they intend on bringing harm. Tbh the word “excluded” doesn’t really fit, exclusion would be like someone getting kicked out of a bar, defederating would be more like the bouncer not letting you in.

    At the end of the day even if it’s gonna be defederated by every other instance, nobody’s gonna forbid them from starting their own “bar” like the one shown, which means they’re not really excluded from the fediverse.
