“Buy local” is to keep the small businesses in your area going. You know - the Baker, the small hardware store, the Barber etc. It’s not meant for Coca-Cola.
One of the things I like about Meijer stores is the fact that they sell locally grown produce when it’s in season.
Global trade is fine but it shouldn’t be managed by big socialized trade organizations. Our trade with the rest of the world should always have American best interests in mind.
