Yep.
The ultimate irony of course, is that since almost all of us like a good buy, want to be thrifty and find items at the best price...WE are ALL responsible for the loss of jobs in this country.
And that was BEFORE the internet.
Now, it's all too common to check out an item at the local brick and mortar store, then to go home and see how low a price we can find for the same item...on the internet.
I certainly don't have the answer to that problem (which is only getting bigger), but I do try and buy from local owners/vendors when possible...regardless of the extra price.
But the reality is, that the local mom/pop will never start manufacturing automobiles/televisions/computers/misc. electronics/etc., etc.
