Stopped going into any big box stores 15 years ago. They depress me, for starters. Will check out Public Square, but will always vote for local over delivered. Rock on...Also remember, Trump is beholden to Rothschild's for bailouts during his 'lean' years....beware, beware.

Good to hear some optimism and people being proactive with solutions.

I just went to the website and tried to apply, but it sends me around and around in circles and I never see a screen with an application. I click “add your business.” It goes to a different screen with the option “apply now.” I click that and it just goes back to the previous screen. Around and around and I get nowhere. (?)

I don't use any kinds of virtual payments and use only cash. Sometimes that includes buying a USPS money order, but usually I send cash through the mail. There are a few companies that refuse mail-in payments so they don't get my business. I don't want to give them publicity, but one is an herb company and another sells mushroom spawn.

I'm also still boycotting 3 co-ops and one building supply company for not allowing me to shop without a mask during early covid days.

I buy milk from a local organic farm, serving myself out of the bulk tank. I buy my organic raw cheese from a dairy farm in Pennsylvania. I buy organic sourdough bread from a local wood-fired bakery. I buy some food items through Azure Standard (for which I am a volunteer drop coordinator).

I buy very little through the mail, limited to those who will accept mail-in payments.

I have found that it seems other people are more eager to sell their stuff locally than they are to buy other things locally.

I will look into this option, but I don't accept virtual payments, so I suspect I may hit a roadblock.

Oh, Hrvoje, the saying is "wet behind the ears." :)

I think I see where your coming from, it's called commen sense and you don't need points in divinity, all you need is a fucking brain

THAT is the comment you make on a respectable, decent, and respectful conversation? Quite a contrast between your language and those on this podcast. I think you came into the wrong room.
