Surely THIS will get price of eggs down.

It's impressive how much Fico and Orban keeps whining about LGBT, considering how firmly they've got their faces planted in Putin's crotch.

It's good to see Poland green shifting their electrical grid. Hopefully this can alleviate the dependency on coal plants during peak hours and nurture more renewable energy over time.

But, I really don't like Europe's general dependence on China for green energy. I hope politicians will finally learn to not trust autocratic regimes with the whole ongoing Trump thing.

I wonder what Trumps response is going to be when Putin rejects the offer. Doubt he's going to go as hard on him as he did with Zelenskyy.

Does he wake up every morning and do a d20 roll on what his opinion is going to be that day?

Seriously though, I guess he REALLY wants his name on the peace deal, whatever the cost, so he can go on to demand a Nobel Peace Prize. I expect him to get real pissy if he doesn't get one, whining about how Obama got one.

Can't have a trade deficit if you don't have trade.

Love seeing initiatives like this get such widespread traction, let's hope it keeps the momentum going and people stick to their guns.

So it's going to be 4 years of "Say thank you" in addition to the already established bullshit? What's the next thing they're adding to the list?

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.

The last few months I've been going through all the different groceries, products, and services I buy regularly. Surprised to say, most of it was already from Europe, and a few things from otherwise friendly nations. The few things I buy regularly from the US or US owned European companies are easily replaced by competing products.

Although it is a small amount on a grand scale, it feels good to work on cutting off American companies completely and make them lose from a few hundred up to a thousand dollars in sales ever year. If enough of us do this over time they'll lose millions in sales.

Europe really should have a fully local drone industry, from the mines to the air. We've seen how incredibly crucial drones have been in Ukraine. Being able to produce various types of drones without relying on external sources for parts will be very important going forwards.
