- sandworm101 11d agoIt means neither will be buying american, which is "good" in that it helps cut ties with the US, which is what america seems to want.
- thayne 11d agoIt is what people in control of the US government seem to want. Which is not the same as what the American population wants (although there is a subset that wants it). As an American, it is absolutely not what I want.

- icedrift 11d agoThe same thing, "buy American" means to an American. I.E. A New Yorker might prefer timber from across the continent in California even though Canada is right there.
- WarmWash 11d agoConsidering most liberals still are doing this "We considered an EV but a gas car was still is cheaper" song and dance, I would bet all my money that people just stick to whatever is cheapest, as they always do.

- ninalanyon 11d agoI don't think the movement is "buy local" it's more "buy from people we trust".
- madibo3156 11d agoMaybe it's something like "make purchasing decisions that maximally bolster your local economy, in aggregate, in the long term, where you deem it suitable for your needs"? Doesn't roll off the tongue though. Buy local.
