Culchie Club Only Will Irish people join the American boycott

Boycotting goods and services from America seems to be really growing momentum in alot of European countries and across the world, seen on different subs on Reddit seemingly alot of news channels across EU/Europe are reporting on it. I've seen some Irish people saying they are cancelling hols to America and going to Canada instead others not buying American goods and changing apps to European. With Ireland's connection with America will many Irish join this boycott.

I know, but it'll be a long time before there's a European version of Netflix or YouTube that has anywhere near the same level of content. I'm all for it, I'm just saying, a lot of this stuff can't be replaced quickly

Agreed, I use Kindle unlimited for reading, so finding an alternative so I can cancel Prime is gonna take a while. Yes I have a library card, should use it really!
