I’m trying to think of how cheese might be characterized as vital.

Actually, I do see quite a few Volvo heavy trucks on the road.

But that’s a good question — what do we buy from the Europeans?

You’d be amazed how much cheese and other deli items come from Europe. And it’s all 7-day JIT.

Watch your supermarket in ten days, see what’s missing.

That's what Wisconsin is for. Again, we've got our own ass covered. It's the American way.

I'm sure that we buy some goods, but I don't know that any of them are vital commodities. From what I know, they don't really manufacture much of anything anymore.

I can't think of a thing besides Scotch whiskey and tea that we might get from Great Britain. We probably buy ten times as much stuff from Germany. They still make technological things of value. Other than that, I'm at a loss.

What do we buy from the Europeans??????????????

WINE, and other ‘spirits.’

I’m sure there are other products but the alcoholic ones will be missed the most.

We’re importing their socialization.
