Nope. I'm going with ghosts because being unreasonable is easier
I finally made the jump from reddit to Lemmy. While it was slightly confusing for my technologically dyslexic ass I'm happy to be here.
We do it's just more "boutique"
There are still people making clothes but they usually only do small orders. There are still people making doors and windows, greengrocers and butchers still exist. It is a little more pricey but if we all shifted to locally made and owned then a lot of necessary manufacturing would move back to Australia.
They can continue making the garbage I don't need and don't buy overseas.
If we invested in better city connections (bullet trains, express country trains) and invested in industry moving away from large population centers then more land would open up in regional areas.
The only reasons I live so close to Melbourne is because there's no viable way for me to travel here and I make better money working here.
If I could make similar money or travel quickly to the city as tradesperson in some dusty regional town I'd be there in a heartbeat
Could you imagine if these people did just one thing for other people?
