Buyeu and buycanada are gaining momentum?
I agree with the sentiment but I work in IT and yearn for when we will get rid of Microsoft, Amazon, and the tech giants.
My mother won't buy anything American at the grocery store but uses Amazon and Facebook every day.
My coworkers won't buy American products but use Windows, Teams, and Office every day.
I may be using Linux, open source software, and avoid American tech when possible, but I still use Google and Gmail.
At some point we may want to (or should) also extend that boycott to software and tech services. Have our governments, institutions and people not dependent on American corporations. It can only be good for our sovereignty anyway.
I asked in another thread about the possibility and likelihood of a sort of "digital embargo" where the states would order American companies like steam to halt service.
Forget not being able to get oranges or having to eat frozen veggies part of the year, this is somewhere that I can't really change my buying habits and move on (my steam library can't leave steam in this example)
