Global Boycott of U.S. Goods Spreading

Wednesday, March 12, 2025

A growing international move to boycott the US is spreading from Scandinavia to Canada to the UK and beyond as consumers turn against US goods. Tesla sales are falling; and apps and online groups are springing up to help consumers choose non-US items. While boycotts have been a familiar tactic in the past " targeting apartheid South Africa and the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories -- what is striking is how quickly the second Trump administration has become a target for both consumer anger and ethically minded companies.

Group members hope the boycott can effectively pressure the US administration, and use the platform to share alternative buying options.

Trumpf: "We will have so much winning if I get elected that you may get bored with winning."

#1 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS at 2025-03-12 05:26 AM

So much winning! We will never tire of it!
--The rest of the world

Meanwhile, the US economy, and those trapped in it, will find out what it means to lose out. At this rate El Rey Dotardo II will see his invitation to visit Great Britain rescinded, because, well, King Charles--who is a real king--will be busy in his garden that day, or some such left-handed reason. With his criminal convictions, Dotardo may not be able to gain entry to many other countries. Which is good for others...

In Canada, shoppers walk down the aisle, pick up a product and if it says "USA" on it they turn it upside down on the shelf so other consumers know to avoid them.

Zed,

"If Trump were a smart man, a good man, an honest man, or even pass for a human being at all, none of this would be happening."

I have no idea if what Trump is doing will be good for America, but I think I see a method to his madness.

For decades, politicians have sacrificed the future for short-term gain. Currently, we're spending money that hasn't yet been earned and passing the burden onto people who aren't even born...people who have no say in the matter. We've been abusing debt for decades.

Again and again, they've implemented policies that provide short-term benefits but lead to long-term consequences.

In most cases, economic policy involves trade-offs where you can't have both unless there are special circumstances (like innovative investments or war-time production).

So where has it gotten us? An unbalanced budget and an ever-growing debt with no end in sight.

Trump is trying something different...policies that (hopefully) will lead to long-term gains and will likely come with short-term consequences.

Will it work?

I don't know. But I do see what he's trying to do (I think).

You keep dealing with Trump like he's sane. You keep trying to pound a round peg into a square hole.

Trump's behavior is much more easily explained by seeing it for what it is: the product of senility piled upon a long-term and severe mental illness.

A major symptom of that mental illness is a fierce and vengeful hatred.

It is interesting to me that you, BILL----As a representative of MAGA-----Persist in seeing what is obvious crazy as some sort of sly genius.

Trump won't get anywhere with policy changes if he alienates the rich.

Finding workable solutions isn't easy.

Just like Trump won't be able to get Putin to the table for peace talks with Ukraine is there isn't something in it for him (where everyone then accuses Trump of kissing Putin's behind)

If negotiating was easy, we'd see a lot less problems.

No...it's difficult.

I do have confidence Trump can negotiate effectively and understands "the game"

#52 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-03-12 01:11 PM

"Finding workable solutions isn't easy."

Fortunately for Trump, imposing unworkable anti free trade tariffs, because he wrote such a bad trade deal in his first term, is child's play.

The emergency that Trump declared that gave him the authority to implement these tariffs can be rescinded by congress if only they hadn't ceded their authority to do so . That's right, republicans gave away congress's authority to put Trump in check. Why would they do that? It's obvious that they want to trash the US economy just as much as Trump does. That's is probably why they are not condemning Trump for chaos that he is causing.

The U.S. national debt was $5.6 trillion when Clinton left office (he also left a plan to completely pay it off in the 2000s). The total government spending his last budget year was $1.6 trillion. We'd run two consecutive years of surpluses.

Bush & GOP unitary control led to doubling the national debt AND the budget thanks to their tax cuts and unnecessary Iraq War.

Dick Cheney said, "Ronald Reagan proved deficits don't matter." Then, when Obama came in, they suddenly did to the GOP.

When Bush left office, deficits were $1.4 trillion, leading to systemic deficits. And our economy teetered on the cliff's edge.

Obama got annual deficits down to $500 billion, on a downward trajectory.

The Trump/GOP tax cuts only deepened the hole we're in.

"If you want to know why I'm angry and feel the necessity to call idiots like you all manner of expletives, that's why."

I would offer up a recommendation to move to another country, but the decline of the dollar might mean that those who are paid in US dollar will be too poor to ever go anywhere else.

"The Trump/GOP tax cuts only deepened the hole we're in."

Well, there seems to be another one on the way. I think a lot of the Trump craziness is just something he is putting out there so he can reverse it as a means of leverage in getting his tax cut across.

MadBomber is under the illusion Trump is a stable genius, playing 4D chess with the world.

Instead of accepting the fact Trump, the miserable failure, is a Russian puppet sent to destroy this nation.

MadBomber is a typical Trumper, dumb as fkkk and desperate for people to take him serious.

So the beatings will continue until morale improves.

Great Plan

Doesn't get more "Presidential" than that. Art of the deal, indeed.

We've looked into a few options. Some as easy as Canada and others less easy like Switzerland or New Zealand. Both of those have programs that pay people to move to certain areas to buoy local populations.

Problem is the locations aren't exactly conducive to my line of work lol

There are places in Italy that were selling houses for $1 to people from the US. I've seen similar offers in Switzerland.

But you're still faced with need to pay bills in EUR when you earn USD. My rent went up by 7% last week as a result of a declining dollar. If I don't get DOGE'd, I'm gonna need to ask for COLA.

I've seen some stories about the Italy programs.

While it looks like it would be amazing, the ones I've seen required a mortgage worth of money to fix up and make livable.

I know we have a lot to think about already, but didn't President Musk and the dementia-addled felon who works for Putin say they were going to Fort Knox to inspect the gold? Whatever happened to that?

My contract expires on 31 May. Odds are it is going to get renewed, we're just in DOGE thrash right now. If it doesn't, we're headed to Albania. There are lots of smaller 1 BR/ 1 both for 300 EUR a month. We will need something quite a bit bigger, but I'm thinking about getting one for my daughter.

There are many online options for European banking. Makes me wonder if you really live in Europe at all...

I have 2x European bank accounts. One in Belgium and one in Germany.

None of that matters if you're paid in USD.
