I have a genuine question about this movement. Small businesses and startups aren’t the problem. Why “buy from EU” instead of “stop buying from big corporations” regardless of their countries? Small businesses (from anywhere) cannot absorb the rising costs and tariffs, and they are struggling.
@dangling_cat @rumschlumpel With all due respect, but thinking like that will just drive you mad. French law proposal for encryption backdoor didn’t pass, BTW
The only constant in life IS change. We need to keep making the right choices, the choices that represent our values best (right now) and if we do that long enough, we might have a shot at leaving this mudball better than we found it.
It’s not going to drive me mad to pick local small business over small business from a fascist state.
@rumschlumpel I meant @dangling_cat
That way of thinking, that all companies are subject to change of policy so it doesn’t matter who you support… It DOES matter. A lot.
