^This. I was prepared to throw down a chunk of change on a landscaping project until I had to read the local independent nursery's 2 page long manifesto instructing me to put on my mask before exiting my car and threatening me with expulsion if if I dare walk around outdoors looking at plants. No good deed goes unpunished. Their loss. I'll never be back.
I don't need a mask or Trumpcine to shop Amazon. Plus I get tons of movies, and don't pay Biden gas prices to drive half a day looking at empty shelves.
Checkout Vitacost.com, overstock.com, look on eBay and go to mfrs. websites.
Also, I heard patriot, Mike Lindell say on Bannon that he is starting a competing site to Amazon. This will be huge. Mike is amazing, I’m grateful to him for standing in the fray for us. He’s also starting Frankspeech.com. Along w suing Dominion.
No kidding.....a dippy-hippie coffee store in my city was profiled in the news about how they still insist that their customers wear masks. I just want to shoot them.
They're in a tough spot though because they don't want to get shut down by the man. If they get shut down then the little girl doesn't get her dance lessons. Didn't you read the sign, man?
Makes me sick what elected morons did to small businesses by elevating the seasonal sniffles to pandemic status .. to the overwhelming benefit of Big Box suppliers of chicom shit.
Amazon loves being able to expand their control of the market. We should get out, create a crowd, push back on them and let them know they're not welcome anymore.
I've started going into businesses maskless and dropping ass right away.
If they say amyrhing about the masks I inform them that two layers of cloth couldn't stop that fart but you think a paper mask will stop the worst virus humanity has ever encountered.
As well as the local tax base. Destruction of local businesses and their taxes will kill local governments’ ability to resist bailouts (with strings attached) from farther governments (state and fed)not close to the situation. Prepare for one size fits all edicts from on high. Killing local vitality will reduce resistance from local governments to set their own policy.
All sell cheap shit made in china and other slave labor imports. Very few actual products are 'local'. The sad truth is you are simply supporting someone that sells walmart or amazon goods at higher prices. Only truly local businesses you can support these days are eateries or other service providers (tailors, carpenters, etc).

I think so too. But with the eateries, some of them I'd stay away from because their sanitation practices are a lot worse than the average nation wide fast food joint.
I grew up in one of those backwards parts of New York that taught that a printed ampersand (&), like most printed characters, has its open sides facing right.
When an American buys from the store that provides them the best value, it allows them to save money to buy their first home, it let's them keep extra money to help pay for their little girls ballet lessons, buy equipment so their son can play on the local hockey team, and put a cooked meal on the table every night.
You could also be supporting a drug habit. Just sayin'.
Sorry, but local businesses are going to have to do something more to compete with big businesses besides asking people to shop at their stores out of pity.
Do you sell coke a colas? Then I still help the corporations no matter where I shop. Every product you have on your shelf comes from a major corporation. Hb we not guilt each other about wtf we get our milk and cereal.
I tried very hard to shop local today, but the camera store could not guarantee a delivery date (before an upcoming birthday 2 weeks from now) so I bought directly from Nikon USA, delivery in 2 days.
I'll make it up to them in a month or three when I get a new D780 for myself.
I have a friend whose family owns a company and exhorts people to buy local. They also do trade shows throughout the country and the world. Betcha they don't push that shit when they are out of town!
Only people that do well with mom and pop shops are mom and pop. Everyone else? Minimum wage no benefits.
Small businesses should stop being picky about unmasked customers then.

Avoiding them and choosing another small business is double the win. You just found a Democrat-owned small business.
Came here to say this. Thanks, Pede.
Hive mind, we got you fam.

It's true. Small businesses are making it very easy to support China and big business with their mask retardation.

Amazon only sells china made trash tho.
Most stuff is China made trash, regardless of where you buy it.
Lots of the good old mom and pop stores are selling china made trash and charging more for it so their daughter can get dance lessons.

I’ll have my freedom before I pay for someone else’s kid’s dance lessons.
If all small businesses defied these regulations they’d quickly be over.

Who was in charge?
Some of us know exactly who elevated the seasonal sniffles to pandemic status.
The fake-ass news media.
As long as those local businesses don't mention a word to me about masks.
I've started going into businesses maskless and dropping ass right away.
If they say amyrhing about the masks I inform them that two layers of cloth couldn't stop that fart but you think a paper mask will stop the worst virus humanity has ever encountered.
Then I leave knowing they're gonna huff my fart.
^most effective covid test on the market.
Rips massive ass
"Can you smell that?"
"Congratulations you dont have covid."
Small business is paying a lease that helps a CEO buy a 3rd holiday home, government license fees that help a politician buy a summah home, etc.
Renthog detected.

Yep. Doing this as much as possible, way more than past years.
Agree. As long as masks are not required. If they require masks then whatever.
"MAMS B DADS"? Is that just a combination of cringeworthy spelling and dyslexia, or a secret message?
"I see conspiracy people EVERYWHERE".
You know what & is right?
I grew up in one of those backwards parts of New York that taught that a printed ampersand (&), like most printed characters, has its open sides facing right.
That one got me too. Mams. I'm not really all that great at spelling, but Mams, dang.

CONSOOM CHINESE SLAVE-MADE TRASH PRODUCT. LOW PRICE EQUALS VALUE.
Is it better to buy from a locally owned store that sells Chinese slave-made products instead?
This is a fair point. No reason to shop local if they sell overseas crap like everyone else.
I have been doing so as much as possible
I tried to buy local. But between the BLM signs in their windows and telling me I need a mask to enter I decided fuck them all
You could also be supporting a drug habit. Just sayin'.

Check on Google first to see if it has a 'Black Owned' badge. Then don't shopt here.
OMFG, I just realized that Google actually has a "black owned" badge. How racist!
Do you sell coke a colas? Then I still help the corporations no matter where I shop. Every product you have on your shelf comes from a major corporation. Hb we not guilt each other about wtf we get our milk and cereal.
I think we could all do better at this
Extra points for the gendered examples. Well played.

"Real MAGA patriots give their money to Amazon and china!" - hopeless consoomers in this thread.
Unless you are in Minnesota in which case it should say LootLocal
I have a friend whose family owns a company and exhorts people to buy local. They also do trade shows throughout the country and the world. Betcha they don't push that shit when they are out of town!
Only people that do well with mom and pop shops are mom and pop. Everyone else? Minimum wage no benefits.
Which is why they're trying to destroy small businesses
Shop local while you still can, until enemies of the state kill them with lockdowns or pay commie army to burn'em down
I use the apps that show which businesses are black owned and ship at all the OTHER small local businesses.
Go work, go broke.
