    I don’t know why they put tariffs on movies though.

    Surely movies are the one thing Americans export more of than they import.

    So they tariff them, we tariff theirs in response… American influence wanes around the globe.

    I mean, I’m not complaining, half of Hollywood seems to be using shitty AI to write dogshit scripts. It just makes no fucking sense.

      Outside of Software, I can’t think of anything I buy that’s American.

      I can think of American made versions of a bunch of the things I buy and the American made versions as always worse. Even American companies like 3M mostly manufacture in Europe since they can get good quality there unlike USA.

        Sadly, a bunch of things people buy are American owned but sold under a more local brand name, especially food or snack items, but also many other things.

        For example: A scary amount of Europeans don’t know that Mondelēz International is an American company. It was started by Kraft, famous for their “processed cheese product”. And they own brands like Cadbury, Milka, Toblerone, Marabou/Freia, etc.

        Coca-Cola also own a lot of “local” flavoured drinks.

        Let’s agree to never give money to any nazi counties in the future as well. Sort of a nazi boycott if that’s legal.

          hmmm interesting idea… pass fascist trigger laws that automatically sanction countries for certain kinds of backsliding. not specifics - gotta leave it vague so that fascists can’t just technically work around it
