    Relying on American companies is a liability in of itself.

    While there is corruption everywhere and on a standardized basis, there are of course countries with higher levels of corruption, the US is the #1 source of corruption and criminality in the world. Additionally it’s the ideological centre for global oligarch/criminal gangs.

    Microsoft’s monopoly in Windows and Office alone results in extraction of hundreds of billions of dollars from companies and individuals all around the world.
