. . . they wouldn't put the job you used to do over in China. They wouldn't hire and illegal with a wink and a nod and a handful of bogus ID documents. They wouldn't replace your full-time position with a part-time position. They wouldn't favor short-term contractors over permanent employees. They wouldn't provide a raise that lagged behind inflation. They wouldn't let your resume languish in a vast database while they wait for an M.B.A. to fill a basic office work function. They wouldn't charge you 25% interest on a basic consumer credit card. If the business community has let you down, why should you continue to buy from them?
If you are flat broke and need to watch every dime, you might want to subject your purchases to some extra scrutiny. Why not buy from Goodwill? Why not try Salvation Army? Why not buy from the desperate guy on eBay who needs the cash to stave off foreclosure? Why not look for "Made in USA" on the label? Why not think about every purchase once or twice before you get to the cash register? Why not keep the money in your pocket? "They" can earn your business.
