Make it a resolution to buy more locally crafted foods, arts, parts, and things in general in 2015.  Are the big chains  and the Walton family wealth something you identify with?  I’ll bet not,  so support your local merchants,  and buy goods where people can actually talk to you about the products and services they sell,  not just scan a bar-code and check you out at the register.   America needs more quality merchants and more goods that are produced stateside,  not cheaper imported, poorer quality things.   So,  please think about where your money goes  when you go shopping.   Thanks for reading and for acting locally in 2015
