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.
