(1,674 posts)I gave up my TV, 20 min of ads interrupting NCIS pissed me off, and Comcast is a succubus. National Geo and PBS and Smithsonian are US entities. Mobile phones are US made too, as is internet, computers, and our food is 90% junk we should not eat. I buy my veggies and fruits locally, meats too, buying a half steer at a time locally, and chickens grown locally. It is cheaper and I avoid preservatives and genetically poisoned food from Monsanto

Free market is self destruction with currencies and one sided tariffs in place
