      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.

        I wanted a hamburger. Instead I ordered chicken Tikka Masala. I think that’s about all that’s in my power to do at this point…

      Buy Canadian. Our beer and whisky is better anyway.

      Moving all my data and hosting shit to euro-socialist countries. Tired of this doge and orange pony show.

      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 this or something meaningful…
