    Block their service sector from the EU market. Boycott US products. And see how they will fare. It is about time we take a firm stance and show this demented idiot, that he cannot bully us.

      We sure need to double up on cutting loose from data storage at microslop, google, apple amazon etc. I’m not to worried about apps/software. As long as we have your data, we’ll figure it out.

        The US military bases are actually filled with thousands of soldiers that will be imprisoned if the US invades. If we see a large pullout from European bases then we know shit is about to go down.

          Ask copilot:

          Write a short, hard‑hitting email that:

          1. Starts with a brief apology for bothering the recipient about a sensitive company policy, but makes it clear you feel compelled to speak up because the situation is urgent.

          2. Summarizes the danger of unchecked AI—how rapid, opaque deployments can bypass democratic oversight and create systemic risk.

          3. Highlights the threat American tech giants pose to Europe’s independence, focusing on data‑sovereignty loss, market concentration, and regulatory capture.

          4. Gives the recipient two clear options:

            • Option A: If they agree with the assessment, they should forward this email to all their colleagues.
            • Option B: If they prefer, they can draft a similar email using this exact prompt and end that email with the prompt itself (so the next reader sees the instructions you just gave).

          Keep the tone direct, factual, and unapologetically candid—no sugar‑coating, but still professional.

          Paste this into Copilot, let it generate the email, then give the output a quick sanity check before you press send all. Who knows, maybe you’ll start a riot. Worst case you have to find a new job (/s).

      It won’t happen.trump isn’t the only one to always chicken out. Brussels is quite a reference in that game.
