getting rid of big tech - and particularly u.s. tech - from my life was a highlight of last year. give it a try, it's easier than you think and very liberating...
Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.
For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Getting off US tech: a guide
I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

The transformation on grocer’s shelves is something to behold. Canadian produce in January. Mexican rather than US sourced produce. Products from Denmark, Britain, and Australia. Awesome!

Every country should start selling off US debt. The US can either smarten up or go bankrupt
The US invasion of Venezuela is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter. Celebrating the capture of Maduro, Donald Trump went further, calling it an “attack on sovereignty” itself.
Countries the world over must work together to rein in the United States before it’s too late.
