Nice to see another rural person. Lemmy is pretty urban on average.

Farmer’s markets are very seasonal, of course. And like I’ve brought up elsewhere, people absolutely will resell store goods in them if they can make a profit doing so.

Unfortunately, they’re all made in the US where I live, based on the bags I read.

I did find a Canadian made salad kit I stripped for parts

What brand?

Oh, well that looks promising!

We did it, Lemmy?

It looks like AliExpress sells some diapers. I have no idea how they compare price-wise, though, and the quality is bound to be somewhat lower.

In China they culturally have an alternate solution, so maybe that’s why outsourcing has been slower in the diaper market.

Oh god, I hope you all are wrong. Danielle Smith is enough of a booger in the punchbowl already.

And price, right?

Oh yeah, that’s legit then. Lots of people get BC fruit for canning that way in the summer.

I’m not trying to shit on it as a concept, but I hear people pushing farmers markets as a cure-all sometimes, sometimes literally a health cure-all, and it’s just not.

Looks like it’s just major cities, which makes sense, but then again if you’re not in a major city you probably have gift overgrown zucchinis appearing on your front step anyway.

What months does it run where you live?

Depends how you online shop. I do it occasionally and for niche things that aren’t sold anywhere nearby, and for that I’m immensely grateful. Hopefully someone’s working on federated ecommerce.

No Alberta bell peppers where I shopped, unfortunately. It’s interesting that they’re doing that in greenhouses as well. I went with Mexico, which is fine, they’re cool, but the thing is you know it came in through the US.

I didn’t buy any fresh tomatoes this time around, so I don’t actually know what’s available.

Already did it! And boy, was I glad I had when Trump started doing things.

VEU is one example ETF on the TSX.

Hmm, I’m actually curious. SE Asia and Bangladesh probably are a viable alternative for a lot of things. Obviously, if you have an unlimited budget you can find some bespoke artisanal item made nearer by as well.

I tried the Good Earth oat-coconut blend. No bones, don’t recommend as of now. Honestly if that’s the brand I’m going back to just oat.

Even for our small business.

Damn, that’s next level commitment! I’ve gotten rid of everything personally, but giving up on my income source being easy to find would scare me.

Also, RIP DivestOS. Still sad about that.

Mmm, that sounds good. I guess the lettuce would have gone in raw instead, then?

Damn, I think it’s wraps for me too tonight. I managed to find local greenhouse lettuce, which somehow is economically viable.

It’s clearly a salad kit-based economy. /s

I’m OOTL.

CBC has some great stuff, actually. I consume more from them than anyone else, easily. And then a lot of “American” stuff is produced here too, although you’d have to check.

The streaming platforms are a different matter. Even Gem works like ass for me.

I really think it is. Like you said, it’s such a small group there’s no rational, pragmatic reason for cis people to get upset.
