    47% only? I thought it was much worse. But yeah if I go to my local grocery store that is 300 meters from where I live, and anything I buy we send 1-2% of the value to a company that is thousands of miles away, it makes no sense. Surely there should be a better way

      I wonder what the global reach is for those two companies, much of the online world appears to ultimately be powered by them.

      We need alternatives for everyone.

      There are pros and cons with fast solutions, but also with slow solutions.
