Time for a global embargo against the evil empire. Consumers can do it if cowardly governments continue to refuse to.
The good thing is that you lose nothing of any value when you don’t buy American
From an American: seriously, good on you, Danes. We deserve it.
Thats in General something I See across Europe. Europe is getting closer to each other and more confident. I like that.
Especially a shift in software is coming. Its Not about that all products are Bad. But I do see a Push to be in charge about the own Data - which is absolutely relatable.
Canada has been doing it for about a year now, and it works very well. We’ve affected key industries and harmed states (especially Florida and Kentucky) with success.
CDN retailers dont even bother to stock US sourced products any more.
We even stopped selling frozen concentrated OJ. Now we got the scurvy. Yar.
A LOT less US products here in the last year or so, I think. But still a lot of stores still have plenty of Pepsi/Coke, Pringles, Oreos, Kellogg’s and GM cereal, etc. and tons of clothing and such (Nike, Levis, etc).
Since the introduction of the Black Star (https://www.dr.dk/nyheder/penge/vil-du-boykotte-amerikanske-varer-nu-saetter-dagligvarekaempe-sort-stjerne-ved) at many stores, and the general shift in sentiment from the US, I’ve noticed a lot fewer american products in stores. Still plenty, but it’s a noticable shift here for sure.
It’s a tad ironic that this app runs on Android or Apple phones. People find it easy to avoid physical products but we will have to find technological alternatives too.
Microsoft, Google, Apple, they will also have to go, I hope.
And they pay with mastercard visa or PayPal

What credit card companies are not owned and/or controlled by the Americans?
Obviously we need better options, but until those exist what “better way” do you suggest?
Ehm, I’m paying cash… not using BLIK where you just scan a qr code from the seller. (Warsaw)
Well, yeah, cash is king - at least for in person.
Though there are some places local to me that have gone 100% cashless. Which is annoying.

Two years ago, I gave so much money to American companies every month. Since then, I have been slowly moving everything to European providers. It’s all the orange man’s fault. Fuck fascism.
Not sure what American food the Danish buy in substantial quantities
Every little helps. Perfect is the enemy of good and all.
Also there’s a lot of food that’s not necessarily grown or manufactured in the US but still goes into the pockets of American companies such as Mondelez, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Mars, Heinz, Kellogg’s etc.
Not sure what American food the Danish buy in substantial quantities
Hopefully none now.
Probably food manufactured by US owned companies mainly. Although there was somewhat of an uptick in the sale of US beef several years ago, but I imagine prices would have ended that regardless of any boycot.
People don’t just buy food.
I’ve eliminated more or less all US products and suppliers from my life; that was almost zero change to my food or drink purchases (I never did drink stuff like Coke.) But it has meant things like changing toothpaste, laundry conditioner, shower gel…
Alan a lot of brands that are thought of as traditionally European have American ownership.
They’ve spread their tentacles far and wide.
Same, one of those shit ass websites with bannerS and click here’s and all that nonsense.
Have you heard of Adblock? Never web surf without it.
