Yeah and people don't have to do everything right away. Just change one service and delete accounts one by one. Request your data as per GDPR where possible and then close. Try to look at labels, chose American companies and products less and less. Don't let perfection stop you from taking some action
Exactly! Taking groceries as an example, as something has been running out I've checked the label and if the company is American or US owned. Slowly, over time the few American groceries will be replaced in my house. Will I be unable to replace some products? Probably. But so far it hasn't been a problem. Something is better than nothing, every lost sale will only hurt them in the long run.
