As an American, please, more more! It's not like they can make the minimum wage lower, they're already only giving us the dusty crumbs of profits. Let them burn.

I'm doing my best to give the red states the single finger salute and avoid their products. Purchased a case of Molson Canadian and Labatt's Blue Light...lol! Bottles only!

Oooof, I promise you we have better beer than that! But damned if I don't appreciate the support!

I can't speak for anyone else here, but personally this whole fiasco was the final kick in the ass I needed.

I'm not looking for the US to fix themselves so I can buy from them again, I'm looking to divorce them for good.

They'll probably pull back from the brink in the next few years. I will still avoid buying American.

They'll probably go through a period of rebuilding and political/economic outreach. I will still avoid them.

Because even if they recover from Trump, they'll eventually do it again.

I think the whole world is waking up to this. You don't try to get back with your toxic ex, you dump their ass and fuck a hot european.

As an embarrassed american, I agree.

You can't recover from what you are.

Pretty sure betraying their allies and bringing back absolute monarchies are also contributing to this.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Absolutely!

As an american, please keep this up.

Look at all those eggs! I bet their price is acceptable right now! I had to mortgage the backyard to buy some eggs here.

Given the planned government sector reduction, we should expect a much more than 1.5% decrease.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yup! But every bit helps!
