I get it.. and totally understand where you’re coming from.. but I will never not use Apple.. at this point in my life everything I have is integrated into that.. all of my music all of my contacts.. my whole ecosystem.. and I am not down on the company like many are as they do many great things, including caring about the environment.. but there are many other companies that you mentioned that of course I don’t have the same vibe towards.. I will not be coming back to the United States either and yes, many of my assets are there.. but certain things you have to learn to live with and make work for you.. that’s what I’ve been doing.. but hey, we’re all supposed to be able to make our own decisions and obviously you’ve made yours..

Your satire is a good demonstration of how pervasive America and it's culture/services/products are, and how much we rely on them. Excruciating to watch it's fate and promise in the hands of a sicko and his "sicko-phants"

I have to say that 'no Jerry' might be taking things too far.

Way to go, Bret. I envy you. It's bad here.

Even Coltrane? All jazz, forever? But it's always been part of the revolution!

But I get your point. Am inclined to do the same. Sony's cellphone has a better camera!

Yet corresponding in Ingles amigos? What's with that? Enjoy the day!

Such an inspiration!

This is a quite comprehensive list, but if you leave YouTube, Substack, Microsoft and the other tech companies that allow you to keep in touch with your audience, it will be very difficult to us following your thoughts.

Was intended as satire, but people are taking it seriously!

If Apple makes a wet bot that winks and twerks your way, you’ll be back in the fold lickety-split!

Hahaha, really? I mean, it's a temptation to boycott the current USA products, but I doubt it's even possible. I for one wouldn't do a shit on Linux :D

Wow, very hard core expat approach! I hear you though. It's always better to go local when you can.
