“Hi,
I listen to your podcast every week and for the most part, enjoy the banter and perspectives you and your guests share, but I am just done hearing about how you and so many other “progressive” and otherwise forward thinking people discuss and seem proud of supporting the likes of Target, Walmart and other big box stores when discussing your shopping needs and habits. Consider the disastrous impacts of spending your money at these corporate monsters who carry goods and products of dubious origins, made by underpaid and marginalized workers, pay minimum wage to, and disrespect and manipulate their workers, and are generally the modern day slave masters. Consider what it really means to buy a bathing suit or tee shirt that costs less then the fancy coffees and kombuchas you like to drink, and I like to drink good coffee and make my own kombucha. There are amazing, creative and stylish options out there for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. And yes, I heard you basically trash talking some business about the bottomless tankini, but you still went there in the first place!
You should know better then to create and condone a culture where buying more and cheaper is okay. How about lifting up small business owners, designers and entrepreneurs who are making and creating sustainable products, clothing, and goods that won’t destroy our environment and economy. It’s cute that you talk incessantly about making jam and raising your children, but it’s infuriating to hear how tone deaf you and your guests (maybe not all) can be to the power and impact of your purchases.
Maybe you can’t afford to buy organic, sustainable, ethical, independent all the time (clothing or food), but the effort and resulting lowering of prices in the marketplace is on us so that others can afford to spend their hard earned dollars that way too, which will have positive impacts on our environment, economy, culture and the actual health of society. I certainly don’t expect perfection of others and don’t live my life to an unrealistic standard, but I hope to hear some acknowledgement of the need to do better in this regard.
This is my martini powered hysterical rant, and I hope you take it in the kindest and most constructive way it is meant.
FYI, I am a ciss gendered female married for 36 years, mother of a non binary 30 year old, a small business owner who sells ethical and sustainable fashion, in the smallest town in the smallest county in the smallest state, the only female member of our town council (first elected in 2016, so I’ve been doing “the work”) and the first female president of that elected body, co-chair of our democratic town committee and our merchants association, and I know what I’m talking about! Cheers”
