It’s sad that it has come to this. When I was growing up I envisioned and much more optimistic and interconnected future for the globe.

My personal priority is to boycott mega corporations. So while we buy from EU or anywhere else, we need to be careful not to the reinforce the problems of rampant capitalism here too. Simply buying EU is too simplistic. Let’s not make more dangerous millionaires and billionaires.

True on the one hand, but on the other hand, at least the EU/its member countries have sharper teeth with regards to antitrust measures and customer protection than the US have.
