At least the desktop app of proton shows you the state or even city where the server is located. For Germany I can even choose between Frankfurt and Berlin for example. I know that for us servers I was able to specifically choose New York.
Edit: In the android app you can go to countries then tap the three dots next to united states and select a state to connect to.
To be fair, we mostly have examples of how free trade reduces prices. But this reduction in prices usually wasn’t instantaneous and perceivable by ordinary folks. Because corporations wouldn’t hand out the savings to consumers until the very slow market force of competition forced them to. Tariffs will make everything more expensive and even if they are eventually culled, stuff will not become suddenly cheap again.
