I went to Vegas recently. And I plan on visiting Hawaii. But other then that I buy canadian when possible and if something big I need too purchase comes from the states I try to find one made in canada instead, or literally anywhere else.

    You'll spend more money on US goods by each of those vacations than any purchase over a whole year.

    I mean you do you, please just don't give yourself an illusion. This is not "boycotting 80%" - if your vacation spending is anywhere close to the median it's more than you'll buy in goods throughout the rest of the year combined.

    This right here. "I'm boycotting US goods except for the HUGE amounts of money I spend on vacations in the USA" is not the flex people seem to think it is.

    Why Hawaii? There's a myriad of non-US tropical islands to visit that aren't filled to the brim with crass assholes. Hell, Hawaii was a grossly capitalistic Hellhole back when I went there as a child in the '80s. What's next? "I'm boycotting the USA except for my annual trip to Disneyland"?
