[devoid]

Could we use this thread to build a database / sticky? I'd love to have a list that can point me to what I'm looking for. If we stay focused and get a little momentum going we can get our national economy moving in the right direction.

I had to breakdown the other day and buy consumables (shoes, bed sheets and tee shirts). I was happy enough I did it online, making the transport of my goods more efficient. But if I'd thought of it, I would've sought US manufacture too. I wonder about clothes, for example. They're low tech. Easy to manufacture. There's lots of people who'd like a job. OK, so it wouldn't pay much but we need to get unstuck from these highly successful pipe dreams and live within our collective means.

I'd also like to try to buy from my local area.

I could probably do more with this thread but I'm so beat right know from work all day I can't make much good for myself at this point in the day. I'm trapped in my own lifestyle.
