Last trip to the grocery store I couldn’t find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I’m very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there’s even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I’d expected.

    Killed all social media outside the fediverse. Even for our small business. Dumped Amazon and looking into Linux to drop Microsoft too. Degoogling the phone. We’re pretty good at the grocery store because we grow a lot of our own and make what we can.

      Even for our small business.

      Damn, that’s next level commitment! I’ve gotten rid of everything personally, but giving up on my income source being easy to find would scare me.

      Also, RIP DivestOS. Still sad about that.

        Fuck em. We will manage. They can eat a bag of dicks. If I could eliminate all American influence from our lives I would.

      Mastodon is free, might be better than going totally off grid for your business.

      The audience is smaller than twitter was, but if you find a niche the people are quite nice
