      As great as this idea is, the alternatives given in a lot of categories towards the bottom of the list are not even things you can find in Ireland.

      Makes me realize how little Europe has that’s even remotely well known, other than cars. Many of those products and services I’ve never heard of before.

      Soon you’ll be able to tell what’s American by the price anyways.

      A key thing no one is talking about is the US CLOUD act, anything that is hosted on any infrastructure that is owned by an American company in the cloud can be accessed without a warrant or notification under any “national security” reason. Guess where Microsoft host their data and who literally owns a cloud. Guess where the other big cloud providers are from too.

      We have actually a serious existential threat to our data from places like the gov. Like national security in the US sense can be a justification for spying on literally everyone. And also Github and Gitlab are both American too, so if you hosted code there that was in a private repo it could be accessed by them for national security purposes too. So basically everything Microsoft do right now is actually backdoorable by the US gov.

      Europe really needs to start actually funding competition and forcing US companies into interoperability with services provided outside of US ownership or even just storing that data in the US at all because that already could be accessed.

      Someone pointed out this list is very nordic, and most of it is not available in the rest of Europe, especially Ireland.

      If ever there was a chart to show how useless Europe has been to innovate ….

      Posting an avoid list on Reddit with Reddit on the list just shows the stupidity of the poster.

      Ahh yes let me grab my Birkenstocks and I’ll meet you at Joe and the Juice…..

      Don’t see football special on the list.

      To be fair my wife wouldn’t stop drinking coca cola for love nor money. She loves that shit.

      Also just saying it: lots of us work for American companies. Apple employs what? 2000 people in Ireland? Google has a couple thousand too. HP, eBay, Amazon, every pharmaceutical company from America has some operations here.

      Hard to avoid it when for many of us, (myself included) it’s our livelihood.

      Fun fact because Chrysler is owned by Stellantis group it’s effectively not an American company anymore. So let’s go buy massive V8 powered muscle cars. Dodge Challenger here I come! (Couldn’t afford the road tax or fuel on that 6.4 liter if I wanted to)

      That’s a list of “who’s that?’

      The giant home market under one primary language is why American brands are huge everywhere in the Anglosphere and then pushed further with local language versions.

      Had a look at the fairphone last night, they run Android and although they might have their own flavour it’s essentially still Google at the end of the day

      80% of our economy and revenue comes from American FDI. Do you want to go back to living on spuds with no shoes?
