      even China over USA.

      Beg to differ. This feels a bit like those republicans voting to abolish the social security they rely upon just to “own the libs”.

      China is in no way better than the US and needs to be stopped just as much.

      We should act in our own interest (furthering manufacturing in Western/democratic countries) and not in spite (“owning” the us-americans)

    If this drives ppl off of WhatsApp to Signal and they remain there post this US administration, I think that’s another win

    While I approve of the message i dont approve of littering and vandalizing items by putting stickers on everything on public areas. I see sticker on everything outside every day and it is so ugly and after a few days they fade and get scratched up washed by the rain and will stay unreasonable unreadable for multiple years and just be an ugly eyesore.

    Please stop vandalizing and use better means of spreading the word or place the stickers on your own property like your laptop, notebook or backpack.

    I’ll probably downvoted but I really can’t stand stickers everywhere even when I approve of the message.

      Spotify is Swedish, bit the owner Daniel Ek has donated to trump’s campaign. I deleted my account and got a Soundcloud account instead.

        What? I think you commented on the wrong thing. I have no idea what you are talking about.

      Agreed. I’m so tired of every single light pole, electrical equipment, and wall being covered in ugly stickers (most often about football in some way).

      I think I actually prefer conventional ink based vandalism like tagging. At least it takes some effort and the municipality will likely remove it eventually.

        I love stickers, grafitti, murals, posters, street art and everything making the world a bit less grey and depressing and boring (except for ads, they should be outlawed, fuck ads). And you can always put a nice sticker on top of any fasch-terf-conspiracy bs.

          I have nothing against actual art. But stickers have the opposite effect on me.

          I prefer a grey clean light pole any day over a light pole covered in stickers and sticker residue. It just looks like litter to me.

          Also people put up stickers on anything. It doesn’t matter if it’s in the middle of the greenest and most colourful forest in the world. My world isn’t that depressing so I don’t feel the need to put ugly, poorly designed, stupid stickers on everything.

    Do we even import much? The only thing I have seen are harley motorcycles, but that seems like a minuscular market…

      If the Netherlands imports American goods and services?

      They do; lots of junk food such as Coca Cola and McDonald’s, confectioneries such as Snickers and KitKat, vehicles from Ford and Tesla, subscription services such as Netflix and Spotify Amazon Prime, social media from Meta and X, and so on and so forth…

      It’s hard to avoid American goods and services, really.
