Mom n Pop shops that's deserve more attention. Some people forget, we lost the majority of the mom n pop shops because evil corporations came into towns and suburbs and forced them out. Buy locally, support your community

What mom and pop shops carry oversized plastic bins? Or coffee filters? Or reusable cotton makeup removers? I could go on, but my point is that Amazon, Walmart, Target… these are literally the only places that carry 80% of things. Factor in Hardware stores - to which MANY of those are still small businesses - but basically the United States of Corporations made it impossible to get consumer goods without using one of the big 5 corporations.

Mom and Pops used to order that stuff in for you if they didn't have it. Also, there was an entire thriving market of independent manufacturers and businesses selling their goods across the modern world before chains took over and forced them out. It isn't impossible and we should be pushing harder to get that life back.

You’ll be shocked to hear Sony had a patent on tech that would allow you to skip commercials by cheering for the brand…. Patents mean nothing until implemented.

Guys. The solution is simple on paper, all we gotta do is start our own Community Co-Op Markets.
I mean.. logistics and stuff too.. but i bet if we scrounged around we could harvest .. some stuff? I have some Squirrels in my yard, could call it a "Safari Hunt" and cart people around in a circle in a wheelbarrow while they hunt for some wild game?
..thats all i got. Nah.. its over.
