Buy local. At the end of the day it's the consumer feeding the monster

As much is that is good for your neighbor you must remember your neighbors neighbor is the one in the factory making the goods you buy daily. As much as big business is the problem fighting them only hurts the little guy "aka US".

Yes but I'm pretty sure the coffee shop down in the village gets its paper cups from the same or similar supplier as Starbutts. Of which I'm sure few are neighbors. And more of the money, control, dignity, and flavor stay local.

All I'm saying is alot of people will loose there jobs if a large company goes under. I would hope in return the local place makes up for that but then they become the thing they hate and it turns into a cycle?

Mom and pop shops can't build jet planes or run fiber optic across the ocean, big companies can. But do corporations need to take over everything? Look at airbnb, every day people got to make money off their extra space then big companies started buying houses and renting them on the same platform and pushing everyone else out of the way.

local company much higher % of the profit goes to employees. Starbucks fucks over your neighbor so that Charles down in the Florida keys can buy a second boat
