> I like money staying local If Ford sells cars for $5k, and Bob's Ford sells cars for $6k, then when you buy a car from Bob, he has $1k left over. That's $1k of money that "stays local". Alternatively, if you buy it from Ford for $5k, you have $1k left over. That's $1k of money that "stays local". What's the difference? Why would you rather fund Bob than keep the extra yourself?
