While not Canadian - I’m currently rooting out all US services and products I’ve happily been paying for, cancelling outright or finding other alternatives.

I don’t see myself ever going back to happily buying US again.

That’s how it goes with all security vulnerabilities. IMHO sunlight is the best disinfectant for stuff like this. But yeah, it can cause some chaos.

Tell me about it! I spent waaaay too much time in the store today, looking up the incestuous corporate relationships.

Also, TIL I learned that I need reading glasses :(

Fucking tiny print

Same here, why would I do it myself when they have staff to do it for me? Should I cook my own steak at the restaurant as well?

Also, it would decrease staff and still won’t lower the prices so fuck em

Well with other currencies you sort of have a nation state behind it, backing its value. Failing that, that nations armed services :-)

I don’t get crypto… is there any coin that’s actually usable as, you know, currency?

From what I can gather, none of them scale so each transaction is slooooow and expensive.

The coins themselves carry no value and is backed by jack-shit. Comparing them to baseball cards seems very apt. Baseball cards, bubbles and FOMO.
