As an American, I never had much of an attachment to 'buying American'. I understood comparative advantage and the benefits it brings to all parties involved. I had neither favoritism for nor against American-made goods or American companies.
I'm now dedicated to buying non-American goods wherever possible, and buying as little as possible in general (though that's not much of a change).
I haven't either, but in recent years I really want to buy local as much as possible. I want the local farms/food producers to continue to exist. If shit hits the fan, they'll still be around and will be more relevant than ever.
Well, I don't really have the money to buy much of anything these days. But any dreams of getting a new e-bike in the near future are dashed, that's for damn sure. This broken heap with a quarter-battery charge will have to last me a few more years.
It's already very cheap and outdated, and honestly, I'm not very technically proficient to begin with. Already almost junked it trying to fix it once, lmao.
