OK, but do think through how you might be better off with a little less in your account and the people around you having jobs, as opposed to having more in your account while unemployed grocery workers throw rocks at your shuttle service and vote in a ridiculous gov't.

But if you want to buy local beer and local socks and support local jobs in other ways with the extra $, coolio.

I'm from Ithaca. We don't have shuttle services or unemployed grocery workers throwing rocks or a ridiculous government, unless you find it ridiculous that our mayor literally walks the walk on reducing CO2 emissions by selling his car and having turned his dedicated parking space into a teeny tiny park with benches and potted plants.

You may be thinking of somewhere else.
