 Buying things from outside EU just get heavy taxed. Have bought a couple of tee’s from @ltngstore (nostrica and nostrasia) and both the times the import tax has been more than the actual shirt. So crazy.

 It is dumb.

It’s easy for the government to “pay” for everything here, when what they’re actually doing is emptying our pockets in a gazillion different ways to pay for it.
