[QUOTE=The Bullwinkle;10755018]I'm happy to buy what I can locally and pay a premium. [QUOTE]
The vast majority of society disagrees. We live in a consumption driven service economy. People want, want, want for less, less, less. They won’t be paying double for tuna or anything else if a comparable product for half the price is sitting on the same shelf.
“Patriotism” counts for nothing. In fact a lot of consumers will view foreign made goods as better.
