A healthier option in so many ways!

I live in Sweden and I can't remember last time I bought something American. I use Google and Android but besides that, close to nothing.

You can avoid Google.
I like Startpage but here are some alternatives.

Let me guess, they are saying that on Facebook, X, BS, Instagram via their Apple phones or Windows PC ?

To which there are absolutely ZERO European alternative ?

Fewer does not mean none.

Sure, what I am saying is that it is mostly a posture, we don't have the choice anymore, even for some as simple as a social network.
Obviously, I am not considering China as an alternative since we are already hyper-dependant on them.

Join Canada in our USA boycott. We have stopped buying any of their products, travelling to their shit hole country, watching their propaganda news. #ElbowsUp🇨🇦

Good, we have mostly crap anyway.

Naw, you don’t just have crap, but you have a crappy president and administration. Your car from the fifties are absolutely beautiful.

It's good to understand that lot of Europeans really do not need anything from Usa. If you don't get you MrBeast chocolate bar who cares. But maga can tell themselves how they have all the cards and do they their cult rituals clapping like seal.

Hello from the USA, where we consciously reduce our purchases of American products as well. Collectively, we are having an effect.

I would like some assistance for shoppers. Saw some report stating that the impact was minimal, but I guess that ties into that it takes time to do research for an already stressed parent. Stores pretty much sit on the info already and all they have to do is display it and let consumers choose.

Swedes are know for their untouchable integrity. And we don’t need american products.

Unless it’s Netflix. Then we’ll be selling our kids and kidneys on our knees.

It is easy to do and has effect.

My story: swapped favourite US beers to e.g. Canadian ones. Coca/Pepsi Cola has domestic/EU/MX alternatives at least on par.

No exposure to USA in the stock market either.

Digital services were harder, but doable.

Once USA is great again, I might rethink.
