I've already committed to this. Shut my Amazon Prime account, Netflix, migrating from iCloud. Avoid the coffee shops, I don't do fast food and buy local produce where I can. Recently bought a Google phone so stuck with that and Microsoft 365. The last two are difficult to wean off.

Avoiding where poss but not easy to ID what goods (if any). Be handy if someone had a "don't buy this" list with suggested alternatives.

Forget the noise .. government this, government that, tariff here, tariff there .. just do the bleeding obvious and don't buy anything, ever, from a US business.

Love The States, but deplore Trump and Musk’s administration.

Ditched as much as I realistically can. Love Canadian resolve.

Yeah I'm avoiding the American goods and services that I'm aware of. It'd be good to have a comprehensive list of all the American owned companies that trade over here.

davesthompson.bsky.social•8 days ago

Just "Google" (geddit?) American goods and services... 😉

mkt1882.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ha, well there is that. 🙂

nellyfriday.bsky.social•8 days ago

You guys know this is an American app, right?

mkt1882.bsky.social•8 days ago

Yeah, I believe this is currently a force for good though.

davesthompson.bsky.social•8 days ago

Of course! My comment was ironic (which I assumed was obvious)... 😉

Stop buying goods from the Trump regime’s US.

Buy from here :

Ban purchase of all American goods forthwith !!!

stevepronto.bsky.social•8 days ago

Join the Canadians, if you see a US product on supermarket shelf turn it upside down to indicate not to buy.

There he is: A standing joke.🤢

andrewbrook.bsky.social•8 days ago

I have never heard the phrase “elbows up” and can’t work out where it arises from.

karizcat.bsky.social•8 days ago

Ice hockey term, defensive position when there’s a fight coming.

I have cancelled my amazon and I am trying to boycott other American products but it’s really difficult. Even when they are not produced in the US, their parent company is often American.

jiest.bsky.social•8 days ago

I'm doing the same here in Japan.
Rakuten instead of Amazon
Mos Burger instead of McDonalds
Australian prunes and oranges instead of American

catherineheslop.bsky.social•8 days ago

I am trying very hard not to buy anything American and look for an alternative.
