    When I say “local” I mean not outsourced to foreign investors, businesses, and production, or to a series of off shore shell corporations used to dodge federal taxes.

    I don’t mean, “you should buy from Jeff’s Store, because his business is within 2 1/2 miles, fuck Jerry’s Store because he ships out of Iowa.”

    Jerry is your neighbor. It doesn’t matter if he lives on the other side of the country.

      Gee. Fuck me for using the DICTIONARY form of the word ‘local’ instead of a recursive definition which includes “local enough but not too local”.

      Wait until the cement cures and those goalposts will be great in their new spot.

        Hey, man. Sorry for whatever it is you’re going through. Sounds like a rough time.
