One of the most important pieces on M&C. (from WW, natch...)

I think the key is to support your local neighborhoods.

Keep money local. Spend your money with your local shopkeeps so they'll do the same for you. Buy locally-made products as much as you can. Clothes, food, books, etc.

Keep your own economy flush, my man...

And that means to spend as little as you can on the internet because that only destroys your local economy and hurts you in the long run.

Plus support your own country's manufacturing. I just bought some new tools yesterday and got all Made in USA stuff. (p.s. if you're in Europe, you should probably buy Made in Europe...)

The USA tools were as affordable as the stuff coming from slave wage sweatshops overseas.

The corporations started off selling sh!t cheap to say, "look how cheap you can buy things when it's made overseas..."

Then we got hooked. On Consuming.

And like any good pusher, the Corporations have now jacked up the prices higher than ever - um, *after* they completely killed off the American industry.

That was the plan all along.

Now it's the same prices as before but there's a higher profit margin for the multinational Corporations. And no jobs or money for folks like us.

Which is how you enslave a people.

Who's losing those dollars? We, the American People. Through more and more dollars sent overseas and though greater debt to overseas powers.

The best way to stop this deep sucking chest wound is to stop spending in a way that sends all our money to huge Corporations living on the backs of slaves overseas.

And start by keeping your bread local and building up a community that doesn't rely on Wall St.

Plus you think chicks dig Rush Limbaugh-listenin' mutherf*ckers?

Please... Do right. It's good for your wallet. And the chicks dig it.

so how come we left the gold standard?

It's okay, the world will always need Americans to produce hammed up hollywood style movies, porn and coca cola...wait; we can do that for ourselves now. Oh well.
