I live in the USA and I will buy foreign as much as possible. Until we make it illegal most likely

From clothing down on the right column, never seen any of these available for sale here in the midwest

They do not sell adidas in the midwest?

Pretty sure Qwant just uses Bing's index for search

[–] LorIps@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Same goes for Ecosia though both are now creating a European search index.

Thank you - from (sadly) an American

Somehow I don't use/buy any of these? Like from either side of the chart... I guess I'm doing my part?

[–] OrlandoDoom@feddit.uk 7 points 3 days ago

Don't forget A.G. Barr for drinks, Iron Bru, Rubicon

Omg, I'm boycotting USA ... since like forever, I'm so sorry, it was totally by accident, thots and players, I hope everyone recovers financially.

Tho the steaming one I do a bit ... differently.

(Also just boycott big corpos as much as possible, no matter the region!!)

Shop at Aldi or Lidl (German). Although Asda isn't owned by Walmart any more, so I think British supermarkets are all pretty British again, apart from Safeway but I haven't seen one of those in a long time.

why not just tell people to shop local? do other countries just not have domestic chains anymore?

i know switzerland has coop, and last i checked there's a who series of cooperative grocery stores throughout europe..

For clothing id probably recommend thrifting. But I love this list.

Is any 7-11 still US? I thought 7&I holdings here in Japan bought it all.
