I’ve wondered the same. Maybe that is something we can start working on. For instance, I wanted to buy a few new casual clothes. Several of the stores I used to buy from are now outed as very progressive, and I won’t buy from them any more. So what is left? I’m going to ask around some friends who might have some ideas. But take that same idea for everything, hardware, cleaning supplies, etc etc. We need lists of who to support rather than only who to avoid.
I may go with a rule that if I’m not sure, to at least try to use a smaller family owned business when possible, over a large national or global corporation.
For now that is what we are doing. We have not shopped much since October but when we do have to replenish I'd like to support the right people. The plethora of conglomerates who control our stock of daily needs is unbelievable. Cleaning, food, vitamins, tools, raw materials... it's predominately derp/foreign. And now they are trying to shut down domestic energy. Sick.
Y'all can laugh but I'm series enough that I spent hours on firewood yesterday for home heating. I've made my own laundry soap - from pre-made soap - for years because I have severe allergies to many chemical fragrances. I'm going to take that a step further this year to make the soap. Daughter has milk goats so I can makes goat's milk soap. I've made some vinegar I used to clean.
And, no, I don't want to go primitive. But I am retired, have time to figure out a few things, and I don't want to support derps if I can help it.
I used to have a couple of “Made In America” sites that listed all kinds of goods made in the USA. Don’t have time to see if I still have them but that might be a start, and the prog ones could probably be discerned.
I have used Amazon a lot (GACK) because there is NO shopping here without long, long drives, if then... And cannot abide to any more. Don’t want to support it, or chinee made crap, and plus it’s increasingly hellish to deal with.
I kept this FR thread URL from back in April, 2020. Grey_Whiskers posted the original thread. The link to TheDonald.win thread is 404 now.
