Sadly that's the truth.

Why can't we have any stores BASED here? Even the "Canadian" stores just get everything from the states.

On similar subject, I had a random idea, I don't have the capital to start it, but it would be cool to make a store chain that is based on strictly local products, basically like a walmart, but only selling locally produced products from businesses like local farms, bakeries etc. I think it could work and would help the local businesses. Often people don't buy locally because they might not even know about a certain business or it's simply more convenient because stores like walmart or grocery stores have it all in one place. There are local farms here that sell eggs for example, but I don't even know where to go for that or at what times, but I can just walk into any grocery store and buy some.

I guess there would be way too many legal issues and red tape with that, because if the product of one of those many businesses has any kind of issue then the whole store is sued. Lawyers are why we can't have nice things.

That isn't the biggest problem. Who is going to pay $12 a dozen for eggs?

Why do you think stores like Walmart are so successful?

A package of police oversight bills introduced in the Colorado Legislature includes a measure that would impose up to $15,000 in civil penalties if a law enforcement officer seizes or destroys a citizen's recording or interferes with someone trying to film them.
