On one hand, the CCP fucking sucks. On the other hand, the US alternatives to some of these banned / tariffed Chinese products also really suck - especially when it comes to bang for your buck. ugh.

On the other hand, with more money going to the US alternatives, there's more potential for a US company to step into that niche once it's open.

Not that it'll necessarily happen obviously, but it does make it a bit easier at least.

Also, I feel like I should add the disclaimer of "I'm not American." I wish I could show my country next to my username or something lol.

You could use a vanity username with a flag emoji in it, if you really wanted to.

Not sure if I'm able to change my username (and too lazy to check right now), but that's honestly not a bad plan.

You can't change the username, but you can change the display name.
