Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

    Really?

    When Canadians were going on about boycotting American things there was a question on here, or Reddit I can’t remember which, that was asking other people from other countries if they would do the same.

    I remember thinking I can’t think of a single American product that’s even available for purchase for me to boycott. Other than quite possibly Jack Daniels but I already don’t buy that anyway.

    I cannot think of any food items, clothing, tech products, or materials that originate in the USA that I would normally buy even semi-regularly.

      A surplus of food is grown in the US. When you buy anything processed, it’s extremely hard to tell where all the ingredients came from. “Product of Mexico” could’ve been made with x from portugal, y from california.

      Also there’s a good chance some of your gas comes from the states too, as they have been an exporter for a decade thanks to fracking.
