"Exchanging goods and services for money to a locale" is not a colonial model.
I, a strawberry farmer in Florida, should have no obligation to create an office of locals in every geographic location I sell strawberries in.
- dboreham 9mo agoNo but you give up a large margin to shippers, importers, distributors and retailers in those geographic locations.
