I’ve been trying to de-billionaire my life lately. The strategy at the moment for spending money is:
Buy nothing, if possible.
Then buy used, if I have to spend money.
If I can’t buy used, then buy local.
If I can’t buy local, then buy Canadian or Mexican.
What exactly is the point of this? By buying foreign products, you pay the US government in whatever import tariff as part of the cost. I’d rather support domestic American businesses over the US government.
What’s the point of… what? Boycotting American products? I didn’t say I was starting an immediate total cut-off of all of them. Our current stupid government just inspires the desire to do this or something meaningful…
I hope the various provinces continue to not shelve US alcohol. Trump said he was pausing the tariffs. When he says he’s canceling them, then ease off.
I managed to do a pretty good grocery shop today and I managed to only buy 1 American onion. There was a local option but I couldn’t justify buying (or carrying) 25lbs without a plan. It’s a local grocery store though, and I’m confident they’re working on making buying Canadian/boycotting American products much easier very soon.
Keep boycotting US goods, people. Even if no tariff comes to pass, we need to swing away from our dependence on US trade.
Hell, I want to boycott US goods and I’m an American living in America!
Moving all my data and hosting shit to euro-socialist countries. Tired of this doge and orange pony show.

Dont let your dreams be dreams.
I wanted a hamburger. Instead I ordered chicken Tikka Masala. I think that’s about all that’s in my power to do at this point…
I had Schnitzel instead of chicken-fried steak.
More like a moron in living in America

Buy Canadian. Our beer and whisky is better anyway.
Literally do that if you can buy Canadian instead.
Buying Canadian just got 25% easier!
SMAE!

Actually… As an American, I can also prioritize Canadian goods, I’m guessing. Maybe we can do both, from both sides of things?
This said, if the ploy here is to milk those goods for money via terrifs and then point to them as a huge success, it may only harm the situation…
