I buy my food locally. I buy my clothes local to my state. Furniture is made locally. All my hygiene but my conditioner is local. I generate more electricity than I use. But there you go, that’s all corporate
It’s just easier to buy corporate. Literally nothing you have stated needs to feed corporations. 100% bullshit.
That’s all neat but there’s a few problems with advocating this approach as a solution to anything.
The supply chain problem mentioned by the other reply to your comment.
The economic viability for this approach from both the side of supply and demand.
Local, especially “ethically” produced goods are usually much more expensive, and when people are barely making ends meet.
It’s also much harder to expand a business that sources their goods “ethically” and so on.
This is just not a solution. It’s an individualistic approach to an institutional problem.
Companies are largely not accountable, there is largely no economic democracy (vote with your dollar doesn’t count), and increasingly all matters of government are once again captured by large corporations and wealthy individuals.
The solution here cannot be to just consume better, something needs to change drastically.

I don’t have the option to buy any of those things locally. Just because you can doesn’t mean it is viable for anyone else.
👌👍 if you’re actually like some help not being helpless let me know you area and I’ll find you summer local alternatives to the corps.
What are the corps and how would they change things?
You never answered. I don’t believe you don’t have access to locally produced items.
I don’t believe you are a human, or do any of the things that you have hallucinated about your so called “life.”
Tell yourself whatever you need to hear 🤷♂️
A) you missed the fact that I hadn’t commented previously.
B) my comment is about the fact that you are an LLM
Whatever you need to tell yourself 🤣
