And then there is this…

I am torn between laughter and despair when I see things like this, which Flo spotted in Helsinki the other day…

A chainsaw for 180 Euros? Really?

Assuming we live on a planet with finite resources (we do), how can raw materials be sourced and bought, the tool manufactured, labour paid for and finally shipped to Europe for this kind of price? I confess, I do not understand.

Maybe actually, it is a one-way chainsaw, you use it once and bin it – no need to fuel it, sharpen the teeth or blow out the air filter. What a win. Not.
