Not what I was thinking but I do like those answers.

At this stage Richard Branson should put in a bid for it. I'll give you two guesses what the company will be called 🤣.

Our government won't let us. 🥴

Holy shit you weren't joking. Those look amazing. Well out of my price range but I want one. Definitely won't be thinking of this as I try and find a place for dinner tonight 😄.

Here's another meme which whilst funny to some highlights my point about lowering the signal to noise ratio on this community.

Here's another one that I'm not sure is the best quality for this community. Why is this article (from 5 months ago) relevant for this community do you think? Does it present alternatives to US dominated services or products that could be fulfilled by European alternatives?

Anker are really good. We use them a lot. Great quality and great price point. As some have noted, however, they aren't European. But they're not US either.

Ahh tomayto tomato.... Maybe I'm just old but I prefer to see posts about actual alternatives to US products and services rather than memes and articles about politics. Each to their own 😊

I'm not saying there isn't good content. I'm saying there's a lot of noise. Case in point is that the first two posts I see right now are:

  • A post about how Trump wants the EU to buy their horror show chicken. Not sure how that helps finding alternatives. Alternatives to what? This is another EU good US bad post.
  • A meme about Amazon alternatives.

Maybe we're not seeing the same things. OP has posted a few links like this recently along with other users. When this community started it was more about "here's a US product or company that blindly supports Trump and here's the European alternative you should consider". Now most of the posts I see are "EU good US bad". 😞

Unfortunately the signal to noise ratio on this community is super low because of posts like this. It's no longer a place to find European alternatives.

Hmmm looks up definition of empathy. Reads my comment. Still doesn't get the joke 😞.
