Pretty much this. When this hole thing started I swore I’d never buy an American product again, but I quickly realized I didn’t buy much of it anyways… The only American food/drink that we have is junk food and soft drinks, i.e. stuff that’s easy to avoid or replace
Unless the east German product was made in the GDR, then it will probably outlive you. I have a table made in 60s east Germany and it’s still in impeccable shape and will probably last longer than me
