id say the economy is fine since people continue to pay outrageous fees for food delivery and drive gargantuan gas guzzler

If local shops sourced goods locally and locals shopped locally.. things would be cheaper..

but…. We allowed our small towns to be destroyed by supermarkets that don’t source produce and products locally. It’s all gotta be shipped and trucked..

And the greed factor.. you won’t become a billionaire running a small bizz in a small town..

Bought gas this morning saved 10% paying cash

Often on borrowed money though...
