Our household is still doing a full American boycott, or at least as much as we realistically can. No buying US groceries, no Amazon, we cancelled all our streaming things and certainly no US travel.
And every time I hear complaints from the US about how their liquor industry is suffering or whatever… good! Their president keeps talking shit about us, deliberately tries to fuck our economy up and continually threatens to invade us. Until they get rid of that asshole and do many other things to fix their shit, I don’t care if they all go broke and I hope everyone else keeps it up as well.
What really pisses me off is half the stuff we bought in our last shopping trip says “Product of Peru” or “Product of Mexico” on the front, then you flip the blueberries over and it has a US distributed by address on the back. I’m doing my best but they’re making it harder to spot.
Is that being fair? Just seems more like you’ve loosely associated the context with something else that you think should be valued… equally? more? idk… seems like a tangent to the discussion.
Not sure where you got that from. I try to buy Canadian where possible and my complaint was that US is trying to hide the fact the products are American. That’s it. I’d like to be informed where I’m getting my stuff from.
Our cats still get American cat food, our son love fruit and if the option is US or nothing we’ll get him some and find something else for ourselves. Given that China builds most things that’s impossible too. I bought a Nintendo Switch in 2017 and most of that is from China.

I mean to be fair you never boycotted China so. It almost seems like everyone forgot about that genocide.

Oh fuck off.
