Errrr, okay. But half the reason US olive oil cost a buck or two more is bc the US producers pay their workers fair wages. If anything these regional producers in the US are making less profit than the trans-national producers.
I can see getting boomerangs and veggimite from Australia, if you must have such items.
But olive oil? We can and do make that stuff here in the USA.
Would it it kill us as liberals to buy things that are made in the USA, especially things that we are in fact making and trying to sell to each other?
One strategy is to wait for politicians and corporations to "create jobs" and demand for US products while we shop for foreign goods. Another is to start looking at what we buy and vote with our wallets.
with our wallets.
