“But "Made in EU" is still a choice you have to actively make, not one you can passively fall into.”
Some of this is definitely something we have to work on; preferably together and out in the open.
Some parts of it, will never go away. Part of becoming autonomous means taking back responsibility for choices, and dealing with the resulting friction, as well as being okay with having to negotiate and compromise in working together with others (people and systems).
Precisely because that’s what autonomy means.
