Stop buying american products

We need to show the bully who currently runs America that we can make rules by NOT buying American products.
We need backbone to bring him and America to to it's knees. Tell your friends and family to check what they buy and where possible not buy American products.

    surely, instead of posting a rambling on a forum you should be putting a case together to take to the government to embargo any American products coming into the country - that'll teach him!...but you may also want to try and get other countries involved otherwise "the bully" is unlikely to even notice
    as for me...I have a couple of US staples that I wear/eat but I won't be quitting my pancake mix...sorry

    But I couldn't live without my coffee from Colombia!


    As for the USA: ask everyone to read the ingredients list carefully before buying any US foodstuff. That ought to do the trick.


    (I can't remember the last time I even wanted anything from the USA.)

    Now is this Made in USA products or companies who make products under licence in this country?
    The more I live, the more I learn.
    The more I learn, the more I grow.
    The more I grow, the more I see.
    The more I see, the more I know.
    The more I know, the more I see,
    How little I know.!! ;)

    Do not use windows OS, use the one with lesser US influence such as Ubuntu, linux for your operating system.
    Do not buy Apple
    Do not use MS office, use open office,
    Do not use google
    Do not use Skype
    Do not use facebook
    Do not use Booking.com
    Do not use Whatsup.
    etc etc
    Meeh not for me then as I will keep buying and using these products.

    What about yourself ? What gadget, hardware are you using to post this message ?
    Are you using Laptop, PC, Mobile Handset to post this message ?
    What browser are you using. Is it Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Internet Explorer, etc ?
    If you are using gadgets, what OS are you using IOS, Android, Windows, etc ??

    If you are not using US products what product, software, hardware are you using the post your message ??

    Reply number 3 suggests what your course of action will be, I suggested on your other thread to do a petition on Change.org, most likely get a better response.
