Are your wife and girlfriend on good terms? 😏👉💦

This sounds great. But if you didn't buy anything in the first place there's also zero effect of boycotting. Then the movement can of course succeed quite easily, but at no net gain.

I feel like you tried to dodge the elephant in the room: the tech. The hardest part to get rid of is the technology, and in particularly the tech stack. Social media, servers, windows, outlook... The dependency is real at all levels, and I've yet to hear of any company trying to escape. This is also where I believe the boycott will fail at an consumer level, people will keep using META, stream from Netflix, order from Amazon etc. Since people are still using these, so will our companies and politicians.

A lot of supermarket food brands are American. You might be surprised if you start looking. Both my deodorant and toothpaste is from Unilever, for instance.

There's Chips from companies like intel and Software like Windows from Microsoft and Mac from Apple. Then there's digital infrastructure like Amazon and social media, or even credit cards can come from the US.

It's also not just buying software that supports the US but using it can too, because they can use their data for advertising and other goals. So you should move to open source alternatives for software that Europe doesn't have any good alternative for (eg. Linux instead of Windows) or find a European alternative.

American cars are niche, but somewhat popular where I live. There's 3 companies specializing in selling and servicing American cars here in Estonia that I can think of right away, but probably more in total. But the new American car sales aren't very good because they're all so massive and expensive, the only target audience is people who like to show off AND have a lot of cash (or a lot of them are company cars tbh, you can register a big ass pick-up truck as an N1 cargo van and spend less tax if you use it for personal purposes, compared to using an M1 passenger car for personal purposes. Somehow. I don't remember the specifics).

I'd absolutely be buying myself a GMC Yukon Denali or maybe a Lincoln Navigator if 1) I was living in America with the wide ass roads and big parking spots, and everyone else driving big trucks too, 2) It had a V8 diesel available instead of the V8 petrol engine and 3) I had way too much money to spend.
