Sure. I promise not to buy anything from the USA today. 😆
Looking around me, about the only things in my vicinity that came from the USA are my phone and iPad. And they were both purchased 2+ years ago. I don't think there is that much in my bubble that comes from the USA. Maybe some oranges or avocados at the shops sometimes? Whatever is on offer from the USA is going to be such a teeny portion of their export market that they aren't going to notice any action we might take.
They were manufactured in China.
The best things to boycott are Services. If everyone cancels their Netflix, Amazon Prime, AppleTV/Music and YouTube Premium for an extended period it would definitely send a message.
I’m currently looking at an alternative to iCloud Drive for my family’s backups. The Apple One Family subscription is still the most cost-effective solution for backing up everyone’s Phones and iPads, but a Roll-Your-Own solution is on my project sheet, especially after what happens in the UK!
I got a message on my netflix account saying from April it will have ads. Spoke to the wife and from April we won't have netflix.
Prime gone, Disney gone, netlfix about to be gone then we see what Stan does.
After stan is gone I guess I gotta relearn sailing to pass my time
I’ve just cancelled Disney+ this morning after finding out about their most recent price increase. I’ve still got nearly a year left before it runs out, but I’m not spending $200+ a year for a product that started <$100 a few years ago.
Yeah, that's what had my wife cancel fuck em
