True, most global brands are garbage, but I do see a lot of stuff locally thats sprung up to fill interesting niches. I still think the community of people who say "fuck big business, and fuck endless greed" is a growing bunch so I'm hopeful.

It helps for me to watch what the generations after me are doing, and they are doing a fine job fighting for progress in my opinion.

I don't see much of a "fuck corporate greed" around me. And there are some things are much better overseas, like cheap IOT gizmos. Purchasing a cheap relay is much easier from the bigger brands on Aliexpress than from a local manufacturer

Yeah I think probably me saying "big business" is overly broad.

I almost always use that to mean big companies that use their size unfairly in the marketplace, and I'm not just talking about how production of scale works.

I do think that we need to really open up the global market, this competition by country is sort of ridiculous, but I'm not going to pretend I understand it all enough to prescribe a solution.
