Our best hope is that companies outside the US stop buying Microsoft. People will need to produce computers for them. Then we in the US can import them and run Linux.

    ‘Someone, do something about our problem so we can take advantage of it’

    What do you expect us to do? I don't buy anti-consumer products as much as possible and I advise everyone I know to do the same. I explain why things are bad, but most people don't care enough to listen. On top of that, these companies collude so that all the options end up being anti-consumer bullshit and you're stuck trying to find the least bad one.

    I think it's more of a way for those of is in the US to hang on to some shred of optimism. Surely somebody somewhere will continue to make nice things for normal people, right?

    I've spent just a little bit of time in Europe, with most of it in Sweden. I have seen with my own eyes how civilized societies can have nice things in shared spaces!

    Do you say similar about all the corporations and governments who have relied on the US for decades? Hmmm?

    Yep, spoken like a true American.

    corporations

    I suppose you mean tech? Many parts of the world offer value for money products. Had it not been the US in anything any corporation needs, someone else will step up.

    Besides which most corporations rely on China more than the US now.

    governments

    Another thing shared and cooperation offered.

    Fix your problems instead of expecting others to step in.
