Corporations are not locally owned and operated. So Home Depot vs. A locally owned franchise, like say an Ace Hardware. Also, remember, AMAZON IS SUPPORTED BY TAX DOLLARS BY MAKING SHIPPING NEARLY FREE, but they are often warehousing for local people selling on the sight OR CHINESE SELLING ON THE SIGHT. SUPPORT LOCALLY OWNED BRICK AND MORTAR ESTABLISHMENTS. Expect things to cost more as they don't have the ability to buy in volume like the corporations which are designed to destroy small private business. They want you working for government or large corporations to control you.
