Curious to see how this Pepsi/Carrefour plays out. Mind you, the French have lots of alternate pretty cool snacks and tasty real food. I still have fond memories of what seemed like a mile long cheese counter in a French supermarket. Is there a Pepsi Index like the Big Mac Index ?

This is definitely where the math has changed! Just read this this morning. Never mind the locals and their needs. “. . . huge income streams are available to those involved in migrant accommodation and the asylum system in Ireland is now an entirely new economic sector. . . . massively funded overseas corporations, some of them partnered with Irish companies, have seen this as a lucrative area, surpassing even in some cases their other interests in buying up Irish property that then becomes unavailable for working people even with mortgage approval . . . “. https://gript.ie/who-are-the-companies-who-regard-ballsbridge-and-other-asylum-centres-as-prime-investments/

So it’s not just US taxpayers funding unwanted, excessive immigration. What’s so amazing is that a reliable poll (pew) has determined 75% of the Irish public say there is enough, there have been many peaceful protests aswell, yet Trudeau wanna be Varadkar admonishes them and tells the people no one has a right to veto who comes into their communities.

And at a big birthday party last weekend a smoked salmon liberal lamented that there are now fewer democracies than some decades ago - I felt like saying, yeah, no kidding. But he wouldn’t have gotten the joke.
