True, but none of these are good arguments for choosing US businesses over EU businesses when you're an EU resident. Why should I support a US-based community, subculture, minority when I could support the same kinds of things in my own country or neighboring countries?

@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.

Why would Europeans pick small US businesses to shop? Do Americans give priority to buying from small EU businesses? No.

You buy from the US first, big or small, and only then do you look for alternatives outside if something doesn't exist in the US (which means, never).
