Vermont Country Stores Unite!

After watching a report from NBC News in the US, I checked the website of the Vermont Alliance of Independent Country Stores (VAICS). This is a group that is joining forces to protect themselves against the steady encroachment of "convenience marts", whose chain-store structure and practices is undercutting too many of these family-owned businesses.

Although the state has been enslaved to Scandanavia-style socialism for many years, Vermont has been in the forefront of protecting and promoting many things we Distributists would approve of.

We at the DR encourage you to contact the Alliance and voice your support for their efforts. If they can be reproduced elsewhere, then implement the same where you live to fight the chain stores and their allies in big government.
