Oooo, you daredevil. "A bit" and "activist" are not words that I'd connect together as adjective and noun. What is the "bit" that is activist - his little left finger?

. I get the valid point you're making but I'd add that "absorption" by the last-stage importer, whether partial or not, doesn't mean the issue disappears and no one else avoids the overall pain. It just means the 10% gets shared out. The ...
