Reply #40: When all of the options look rotten

[ceusi]

Some catagories just have strong republican supporters. So I'm going to do my own second criteria review on those.

For me, this isn't totally about who they voted for. (am I opening a huge can of worms here?) I have a vision of the society I want to live in and what I want to leave my kids.

So, I'm looking for local, not multinational, and if they pay living wages and provide healthcare. If they do that without the government having to force them to, then I'm willing to consider giving them my money. This includes the environment and lots of other stuff.

I think most of these businesses will lean liberal, just because.

We have local groceries and a co-op, so I can avoid Safeway who is trying to back-pedal on wages and healthcare. And we just joined Costco, which is huge, because of their employment practices.
