I like to leave a response for Jay in the first post. It was nice for Steve to point out that the Think Local First Group parked in the neighboring business lots. Thank you. Next, I like to comment on American Cars. Where do you think Ford and GM buys the robots to build those cars? Where do you think Ford and GM purchases the electronic components that go into the dash board? You think those American Car companies are thinking local first? [link] You probably submitted your post from a computer that was manufactured in Hong Kong. It's a global economy, get use to it. This is the result of Capitalism, it's time to think outside the box and change the monetary system.

As a TLF board member I can point out that Big George’s parking lot was open for business that evening and its parking lot was available for customers only. Meeting attendees were directed to park at neighboring business lots. (Thanks to Kolossos Printing and Great Lakes Cycling and Fitness for their generosity!)

For Think Local First “local” means within Washtenaw County, and we support locally owned, independent businesses. The issue of whether cars produced by whatever foreign or domestic company are manufactured in this country (or this state) or not has been discussed elsewhere, so I won’t get into that.

Think Local with these jokals? I drove by the meeting, and there were more foreign cars in the lot than American. People can buy whatever kind of car they want, but don’t put a think local first on a foreign car… at least not in Michigan. They need to remember on what side their bread is buttered. Until then, this group is a true joke.
