Good. America needs to learn not to touch the stove.
I’ve just stopped buying anything. Food, beer, gas only.
Ironic handle to take on this position
Probably just their favorite song. Easy to find songs without buying them… ;P

Everything going according to plan, huh?
I’m in the PNW and am purchasing local as much as I can. Thankfully we have a lot of agriculture and general food production. A lot of it isn’t much more expensive compared to corporate garbage.
Some things are much more expensive, like peppers and tomatoes in winter. The “local” stuff comes from Canada because they built up a shit ton of greenhouses that can grow year-round. Tariffs make these even more expensive.
If the US wants to “fix” this and domestically produce the stuff we could have simply provided federal government grants/incentives. Instead we pissed off our trading partners.
Grants? That’s a handout. Those only go to billionaires.
I’m already boycotting capitalism, enjoy your trade war.
I mean, obviously not since you’re on the internet.
You didn’t build a motherboard, cpu, ram, and so on by hand dude.

Your comment reminds me of something
People do give away perfectly usable computers when they buy new ones. You have no idea if that person bought, found, stole, borrowed or was gifted a device.
Yep. Every 3 years work lets me buy a new computer on their dime. Old one gets gifted to my partner or friends.
I am not getting involved in the discussion around “boycotting capitalism”, but you can definitely find pretty solid options for smartphones and computers (desktops, desktop components, laptops) if you go second hand. This is true of almost any country in the world (in some places with lower salaries, 2nd hand will still be somewhat expensive, but I digress).
