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.
Even when you buy a car, all the electronics are from asia
Ive got a wool shirt on right now from a local company, but the wool itself is from new zealand 🇳🇿
Yup, this.
I started atleast buying from european companies, regardless of parts.
Some industries like textile just aren’t local enough anymore to support through consumerism. But at the very least I can make sure my money goes into european pockets, so we can then tax them correctly!
