I don’t buy much from the US, iPhones and Levi’s.
If I lose weight I can get back into old Levi’s for the next four years.
Some small food things I can now dodge.
Gradually easing out US podcasts and finding UK, NZ and Canada ones instead.
We can all cancel one US thing.

I don’t give a flying fuck where US companies manufacture or package their products.
US company, US profits, that’s it.
So please stop telling me where stuff is made, you’re not the first, I don’t care, please stop.
Not always easy to do, in terms of accurate labelling and ease of ascertaining the parent company.
We'll do our best!

Get an ebike or an Ev stops US superprofiting too.
@markogge.bsky.social I think was the one from TAI who showed the $$ flowed there.
Takes a bit of time to get educated about where to buy items - but once you change, it’s rinse and repeat
BTW Mother Nature thanks you for buying less
Australia receives large US food brands, often with a mix of local produce, but mostly large machinery and medications and the like, big production stuff. That will take time to change, but we can ditch Amazon or other services right now.
If the man baby trump wants to play dirty so can we
#FuckTheUSA
Can we fully unplug? Very hard. Can we do what we can? Definitely.
I assure you the modern Gestapo would kick down their door first 🥇

Alright, when I can’t lose weight I’ll look into this.
May as well look into it now.
They're also cheaper
Bollocks.
Found a nice Taiwanese one.
I am not buying anything I don't need, no want to buys. I will order from countries that are EU.

That prick is already everywhere.
There may be a price for not prosecuting Trump, not organising a Biden succession, not organising and beating fascism.
Thank you
An American citizen.
US company, US profit, don’t buy it.
I give up.
Best EU alternative is Fairphone.
That’s just not true, and a bit silly.
It's much better..
..oh and Carhartt are being replaced with Japanese denim.
I can foresee a major diarrhoea event across the south of the US any moment now.
For example, Fairphone offers a very interesting smartphone. It's currently only available in the EU but if there are enough people in Canada and the US interested they might ship them overseas.

#resist burn it down baby. 🔥🔥🔥
spend a month trying to find non usa from photo storage to webuild etc
even if the origin was EU its owned usa
but China have some alternatives
Australia yeah meat pies n realestate
Immediately.
(goodreads is one I wasn't aware of)
Boycotting is about all some of us will b able 2do, I'm certainly trying

You live here.
Also have a Mac so don’t want to go a different phone.
#dilemma
Definitely looking into it.
I like the idea of recycling and the money goes directly to the seller apparently so not contributing to Apple
I just can’t afford to continually update my phones, thus I still have my old iPhone 8.
How much is the extra warranty?
I also live regionally so services are limited if something goes wrong - do t even have an Apple shop in Tassie anymore

No one owes the US anything, there are other countries doing stuff we like.
Cool with it either way. You do you.
We will too, I get that, but we were going to anyway. Leave the US behind and we'll make sure we point out it was Trump's fault for all history.

They both look good. Now to find somewhere I can try them on…
https://nobodydenim.com
And since my current iPhone replaced one I’d had for 7 years, and current Mac replaced one I’d had for 11 years, I’m probably good to not spend any more for a while there anyway, by which time hopefully sanity might have prevailed… 🤞
I’ll call it incentive.
It’s pleasing to notice how little US stuff we use, not accidental I’d suggest.
And yes, re: lack of US stuff in my day-to-day too.
No respect, no respect.
I’m in US and buy Aldi chocolate
I don’t know about other options?

Today’s win? Mint cleaning products at my local refillery. 🥰
Like you said, one step at a time… and sometimes you find new, better options!

On a side note: I’m wearing Levi’s from at least 15+ years ago. My wife insists on patching them, but I’m okay with the holes, lol. And yeah, I had to drop twenty-five pounds. They have no stretch!
As it stands I have a couple of pairs of jeans right now, and a box full in my storage cage. 2 or 3 belt holes and I’ll be swimming in jeans.
I’m sure I can do it.
Google operating system is US too.
Teach us all that no country (or business) is too big to fail.

The bit where the US started the trade war?
It’s not about winning or losing you.
I want my country back! 🇺🇸
