I realized something. I value 2 different things that conflict.
1) Supporting local business.
2) Minimalism.
I've been using a 3 month free trial of "apple music". After the trial, I can pay $10/month to continue this music streaming service. On one hand, Apple is an enormous company that does not NEED my support. BUT, keeping things digital helps me keep my life more minimalistic.
I could go to the local record store and spend $10 every month and probably get a couple records. If I buy 25 records a year, after 10 years I've got 250 of these things taking up space in my house.
Clutter.
I had never really thought about this contradiction of values. I want to support my local record store, but I do not want more "stuff".
I guess there's only hope for eateries.
