Interesting that today we have seen sympathy for Thomas Cook employees losing their jobs but when you look at companies like Poundland who have a significant workforce, what if they went bust?

Poundland basically sells Chinese crap, with a big carbon footprint, mostly one use disposable stuff.

If in pursuit of controlling environmental damage such companies were to fold would we be happy to see jobs lost?

Would we moan when we couldn’t get batteries for our devices and stopped using up energy posting meaningless stuff on football message boards?

I suspect that we are all going to have to make sacrifices if this is gonna work properly. I fear that the poor will come off the worst though.
