    The We refers to the rest of the world.

    What Trump is saying is irrelevant. Best to not pay for American media. Subscribe to your local streaming companies that offer content in your local language, watch movies and series from other countries. A dollar to America is a dollar to supporting fascism.

    And not all of it works on a tax incentive basis. Here in Ukraine the cost differential alone was enough to attract film productions (pre-full scale russian invasion of course).

    If sane Americans get their house in order (not Biden or Harris style bullshit, but real anti-corruption programs that decapitate the US oligarchy), then that’s another discussion. But that is a big if.

      As a film technician in Canada, I sadly can’t be so strict. Yeah I swapped deodorant, Ceasar dressing, energy drinks, cancelled my Prime and Uber, but I got to make a living.

      Support CBC, Gem is a great service.

        For sure, every small bit counts. Power in numbers.

        A single person dropping all American spend does nothing. 100 million people cutting down US directed spend by 25% is going to hurt.
