Last trip to the grocery store I couldn't find any non-US salad kits, and Silk NextMilk is made down there now, because I guess our plants were the listeria ones. Chip dip was surprisingly hard to find too, although I did it.

I'm very pleased with how many vegetables actually come from Mexico (definitely via the US though), and there's even a few things you can get from greenhouses, so that situation is less dire than I'd expected.

Yeah, same. Aside from the products I mentioned it wasn't hard at all. I had to take a bit of extra care with canned fruit, I guess.

American software dominance is pretty out of control. If you don't want to use American streaming, you pretty much have to go to piracy instead, and if you want to talk to IRL people online US social media is the main game in town. Not to mention the internet backbone itself being centered in the US.

For online shopping, you can go Chinese. I need to look into if there's any non-US Western options.

Sailing the Seven Seas is definitely the best way to do streaming.

US social media is increasingly right-leaning and bot-dominated, so you're not really missing out there.

Online shopping is awful.

At this point, I'm hoping for the Giant Meteor.
