Not a hard challenge, since American products will become a lot more expensive
I had this talk with someone I barely know about Trump.
She said he must know he’s never gonna be remembered as an exceptional president, so instead he is trying to just be remembered, doesn’t matter if for good or bad.
I think that makes so much sense.
i think, that he is so controversial and so many people wants to side with him and be anti-woke/anti-left that even when he fails he will be remembered as a martyr of their cause.
Considering how e.g. the Brexit people still insist that what was implemented was “not the Brexit we voted for” instead of admitting that it was a fundamentally stupid idea that could never work in any implementation variant you are probably correct.
As an American living abroad, I support this message. I’ve already moved over 90% of my SaaS subs to Euro alternatives. Hardware will take a while. Other day to day stuff has been quite easy.
I work in data and we are pretty much just a Microsoft implementation factory. That’s gonna be difficult to just swing around.
But besides Microsoft, I’m fine on products. We rarely have stuff from the US.
I feel that.
And what are ya gonna do? How far down and to the left in the Magic Quadrant do you go before you find a non-American alternative?
Sucks to be here. I had hopes the money (of the threatened companies) would win over the rhetoric, but now the company I work for is effectively built around software that’s not got mature non-American alternatives. I’m still trying to recommend European options when they’re available
I love how he’s complaining about VAT, thats paid by the consumer and businesses exporting goods can reclaim it. (if my understanding is correct).
Yes, the end consumer pays and the parties in the chain pass it through
Marketing is a hell of a drug! When I was in south america for vacation everyone wanted US products when they had cheaper better options but still looked at the US.
