"Buy local" is "buy small business", as in not large scale corporations who continually abuse whatever means possible to minimize pay for employees while reaping the biggest rewards.
Not "this person who has 12 employees vs that person who has 12 employees", but "buy from this person with 12 employees, not that company with more than 2 million employees and tops the list of employees on Medicare and food stamps".
The store I go to employs 12 of my neighbours. I don't go to the one the next town over, nor the metro. I don't care whether they have the same owner as this one. They cease to be part of the equation.
Ok? What impact does that have on what was said?
