While you are quite right.

"We need to spend our money on goods and services produced by companies that are local, democratic, accountable, tax-paying, worker-conscious, and environmentally-sustainable."

This amounts to not buying anything at all, starving and going naked. Very little local food, no sustainable power, no local garments. Cart, horse, chicken, egg.

The elites have us dependent on them not only for jobs but for good and services. Try buying your medications from a local, sustainable, worker -conscious tax paying provider. I don't know anyone local or even anywhere in the state who makes pants and underwear.
