Boycott US

Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

Ah ok! I bet it's also because Americans tend to buy bigger bulks, so it stays in your pantry longer once the seal is broken. So the chances of those little critters hatching/entering is higher.
I know Japanese rice isn't immune, because they sell resealable containers and natural repellents specifically for this reason. But personally, I've never had a problem in my resealable container and certainly never had bugs crawling out of a freshly opened bag until the import. This was before the whole 51st State thing so there's no way I'll ever give that rice a second try, unfortunately.
We also generally eat a lot less rice. I'd say I probably eat a ton of the stuff for a white American (Asian, Caribbean, and Latin descended folks are a lot more likely to eat a lot of rice as Americans tend to pass down certain aspects of cultures from wherever we immigrated from), but that means I eat it most weeks.
And yeah, that makes sense. Boycotting us is the right call, for yourselves, the world, and honestly us too. Financial pain and hunger are nothing compared to the consequences if the current regime is able to take whatever they want without consequence.
