Moving wasn't going to save the company so why uproot your employees only to fold 5 months later

I appreciate my 12 yr old car for this reason. Also, physical buttons I can hit without taking my eyes off the road

Mustache on or off?

I'm a big proponent of buying local whenever possible. This plus something similar for physical products is really useful no matter where you live.
