‘I feel utter anger’: From Canada to Europe, a movement to boycott US goods is spreading
Tesla sales are falling and apps and online groups are springing up to help consumers choose non-US items
Good. America needs to learn not to touch the stove.
As an American, I never had much of an attachment to 'buying American'. I understood comparative advantage and the benefits it brings to all parties involved. I had neither favoritism for nor against American-made goods or American companies.
I'm now dedicated to buying non-American goods wherever possible, and buying as little as possible in general (though that's not much of a change).
I haven't either, but in recent years I really want to buy local as much as possible. I want the local farms/food producers to continue to exist. If shit hits the fan, they'll still be around and will be more relevant than ever.
I hope you have the money for it because non-American items are gonna cost some coin under King Fuckwit.

Everything going according to plan, huh?
Me too, am American.
I'm in the PNW and am purchasing local as much as I can. Thankfully we have a lot of agriculture and general food production. A lot of it isn't much more expensive compared to corporate garbage.
Some things are much more expensive, like peppers and tomatoes in winter. The "local" stuff comes from Canada because they built up a shit ton of greenhouses that can grow year-round. Tariffs make these even more expensive.
If the US wants to "fix" this and domestically produce the stuff we could have simply provided federal government grants/incentives. Instead we pissed off our trading partners.
Grants? That’s a handout. Those only go to billionaires.
I'm already boycotting capitalism, enjoy your trade war.
I mean, obviously not since you're on the internet.
You didn't build a motherboard, cpu, ram, and so on by hand dude.
