While “buy from EU” sounds reasonable (and it is, in terms of physical goods that shouldnt rely on huge travels around the world), it is dangerously intertwined with protectionism.
Politicians really like the idea of protectionism, but it doesnt help in terms of software, which is a big topic in here.
Open Source / Free Software is always global, doesnt discriminate against contributors from any country (may it be sanctioned or not).
I know a lot of really shitty proprietary software from the EU that I would always trade for free software from a global community.
it’s not even fully EU, I’m seeing products there listed from UK, why? confused
The sidebar says
The UK still hasn’t left Europe geographically, yet.
sure, but it’s called buyfromEU
Eu can also be an abbreviation of Europe. Unfortunate but true. More proper alternative is Eur but that would evoke that you should buy with euro. The last option would be just E. Or maybe the option to not abbreviate BuyFromEurope. Its not that long. You are welcome for this unnecessary stream of deep thougts 😀
I guess they’re drifting away with rising sea levels /s
Deep down, we still love them.
Very deep.
Some of us never wanted to leave, and will never forgive the racist, selfish, bastard boomers who carried the leave vote when they wouldn’t live long enough to suffer the long term consequences.
