    Why “if”. I’ve started ditching us products and wouldn’t give a flying duck if we put tariffs or not.

      And at least in here the selection on groceries and other commonly purchased goods doesn’t even have much options from the US. Sure, there’s things like Coca-Cola, but they’re produced domestically too, so it depends on how strictly you want to avoid anything related to USA.

      Maybe the most common US originating household item around here is a Briggs & Stratton engine on a lawnmower. And of course CPU’s and GPU’s inside computers and gaming consoles. But there’s just not that many physical products around in the stores you even could buy.

      Digital goods are obviously more common as there’s very few actually viable alternatives for Meta, Alphabet, streaming services and so on for your Joe Average.

        I would not take seriously someone who claims they avoid American products, and still buys Coca-Cola.

        For digital products, it really depends on your usage.
