Social Commentary

Independent perspectives on society, culture and the issues shaping our world.

Money is Power. Use it Wisely.

Each purchase you make decides which enterprises thrive. By choosing local shops, you boost your neighborhood and help challenge the dominance of global giants with a more human approach to commerce.

My Perspective

Fight the Billionaires. Support Small Business.

Every dollar we spend is an economic choice.

Large corporations and billionaires have enormous financial resources and influence. But consumers have power, too. We decide where our money goes.

The creator of this video makes an important point: supporting small businesses doesn't necessarily mean paying more. She describes a locally owned pet food retailer that matches Chewy's prices.

Before automatically ordering from a major online retailer, consider checking with an independent business in your community.

As I build Savvy Pet Foods, I want to be part of an economy where independently owned businesses have the opportunity to compete, innovate, and serve their communities.

Small businesses depend on customers who recognize the value of keeping commerce local.

We may not have the individual wealth of billionaires, but collectively, our purchasing decisions carry economic power.

Money is power. Use it wisely.
