Huh I never knew milka got bought by a US company. Always thought they were german (which is also wrong, they were Swiss, but produced in Germany)
-
Many Milka products are actually made in Belgium
-
Made, yes, but under license to the brand owner, american megacorp Mondelez. (Much like Coca Cola).
Mondelez owns a lot of brands that you might assume are European. Here is their list.
-
European-made*
While they're owned by a US company, they're still produced in the EU by EU employees sold on the EU market.
Boycotting these hurts the EU economy, not the US so where should the line be drawn?
-
Prioritize products that are both made in Europe and owned by European companies.
-
Profits are still extracted to the USA.
And if you buy european stuff, that also needs to be produced. And if those European companies have increased demand, they need to invest in bigger productions, where people who lost their job in the USA owned plant can go to work.
This time it really is a net zero game for the workers.
-
The profits go to the US. I doubt that taxes are paid in Europe. Buy from European companies, then those jobs are created there.
