Isolated is crying again guys, as you may have noticed, I really "love" the guys from Attraction (DNS, M.Videos, etc.). for what? Let me think oh, here it is: it's the standard trade union of Moda that buys nothing. To these wonderful people we owe the reduction of the duty exemption threshold to 200 euros and the constant demand to reduce it to zero. Moreover, for years they demanded to "land" foreign sites with taxes, block those who share through the Rkan and introduce a fixed fee for each package, so that ordering cheap little things from Alik became stupidly unprofitable. After all, it's much more patriotic to buy the same china from them, but with a nameplate re-glued. These are the same guys who in the 2000s and 2000s mercilessly burned down regional retail with dire consequences. Then they were suddenly offended by the exclusion from the markets and wanted to complain to the regulators that the markets dared to give people discounts at their expense for years that they put their bones against parallel imports for anyone but them, in 2022 they were the first to run to ask for the legalization of gray imports, and when they established their networks, they again demanded to stifle cross-border traffic. By the way, their struggle in the markets is usually multifaceted and deserves a separate post. So here's some great news:
The Association of Internet Trade Companies (Attraction) proposed introducing a "special regime" that would allow businesses to sell and ship goods during massive failures in government systems. They say that so far there have been no serious failures, but it is "recommended" to provide them. You understand, right? And here is the most ironic thing: the very proposal regarding a "special regime" in the event of the collapse of state systems is quite good and logical. But where were you before, when those failures and fines affected everyone but them? Let me remind you that attraction members themselves lobbied ferociously for this clumsy colossus with the "straight mark" and total digital control of every slipper to survive the market of small competitors. And while ordinary individual entrepreneurs suffered from a crooked GIS update, these wonderful people were completely satisfied with everything.
