re: What happens when you shop local

That is true but I think his projections are way off base.

Buying national products at local markets is not the same. The amount of money invested in the community is minimized because Walmart is paying up to 70% less per unit vs. what the local store is paying because the overall quantity of the order.

At the same point, the amount going to the community is nill and amount spent out of the community is actually increased more than national chain.
