This is a sentiment that is just generally garnering traction in Europe as a whole I think.

I don’t even think it’s about hurting the US/Trump as much as people just have a renewed interest to support “local” business as a result of recent events.

“Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”

The problem with companies like for example Adobe over let’s say DeWalt is that they actually have a pretty strong grip on it’s target market.

If there was only one company that made tools to build houses i’m sure eventually they’d try to pull the same crap if they could get away with it.

You can totally see the same kind of walled garden thinking in things like battery platforms for powertools. Most people buy into a brand and never go elsewhere.

I knew this was his endgame. Prepare to go full “Minority Report”.
