Boycott Asian produce

Nothingbetter2d

the more you buy asian produce the more jobs we lose simple.

cheap to buy now means no money to buy it later

ban or lock this mods if ye must but the truth should be made available to all

Celly Smunt

you know we don't just import from asia right?

Metallitroll

i f you think i am boycotting my asian greens then you are barmy.

they grow some good stuff, best thing to happen to this country in a long time imo.

galwayrush

Yeah, i'm going to look for Irish noodles and rice in the shops from now on.

Why Asia? Not UK, Eastern European or American Products?

Where in Asia?

When in Asia?

How in Asia?

So many questions.

Khyra24

What?! The more jobs outsourced, the more jobs lost. I think boycotting their electronics is a better idea than produce...

Shryke

How about no.

yeahimhere

Why did you just stop at asian? Why not German/French/American etc?

I'm all for buying Irish products when I can, but it's a free market and I've yet to see sake being made in Ireland. And I love a little bit with my sushi!

No, it's just a suggestion. They have cheap electronics which is good but they're not original. You can't make fake fruit at least! HAH! ...wait maybe you can.

Oh dear, don't even go there. I never said to buy from us and I don't even recall the last time I even saw my country make anything that didn't fall apart after a few weeks. Whose side am I on? NO ONE'S! I despise all.

But yes, U.S. made stuff just doesn't seem to hold together as well as virtually anything else.

Think you might have missed the boat on that one unless there is an Irish manufacturer of Radio/TV/audio/video equipment that I am unware of ?

Is produce from Russia or Turkey okay or do I need to check if it comes from the West or East ?

Yeah, I agree with that actually...at least from what I've experienced myself. I don't take offense easily so no worries. *shakes your hand and grabs...something from the fridge*

Humans eh!

Here's another piece of truth, Ireland is an export dependent country! So before you start perhaps you need to rephrase by encouraging consumers to buy more Irish produce.

Last Xmas hoards of boards went NIrl for grocery shopping and it wasn't for unavailable exotics.

BTW, what asian produce is linked to Irish jobs?

Seriously though people should try and buy Irish as much as possible. Support your own.

karl tyrrell

Canadians don't count.

In general id be a free trade kinda guy (free movement of goods services AND PEOPLE across borders) although I would go along with the notion of targeted tariffs on goods from countries whose economies were based around sweatshop/slave/child labour unless there is clear evidence of serous attempts to improve conditions in these places. This can be as much for selfish motives as anything else since it levels the playing field for Western workers.

Arbitary "boycotts" of individual countries is a pretty crude/blunt instrument however (although perhaps justified in the case of apartheid era South Africa and more recently Israel)

Are we taking your money by growing cheap potatoes? *throws a potato to Sonics2k so he can fend off the Pandas* Hmm...Potato sushi...

Why? Ireland has been a ripoff and overvalued for years. If a foreign product is of the same quality and is cheaper than an irish product, i'm buying the foreign product and so will 99.9% of people, its simple economics.

Ireland simply cant compete and wont ever be able to compete in the manufacturing industry again because of lower wages in other countries.

Its time to get out of the manufacturing industry and move Irish people into industries where we as a country can create a niche, specialise in and compete sucessfully in, areas like R&D, education, etc. We have a very highly educated workforce who demand high wages, do we want to put them on assembly lines?

BickNarry

You want us to boycott the Asians who we already expolit for cheap labour because you lost your job?

I'd say we do away with Neoliberal politics and look for something fairer fr all of us.

Like all Irishmen, I have a strong and profound knowledge of finance and business.

So I accept your deal!

Glad we could do business! Now the only way you'll be able to make your money back is if you give us a happy ending. Oh wait...we're in that business too...
