MYCROFT: I'm tired of corporations TAKING OVER everything!

MYCROFT: But at its CORE, society is made of TRIBES. It's our NEIGHBORS who we'll be relying on when the corporations come CRASHING DOWN!
We're out of milk, right? I'm gonna march RIGHT down to the CORNER STORE and buy us some milk.
THINK local! SHOP local!

CLERK: $3.50, please.
MYCROFT (thought): Aw, seriously? It's like $2.85 at Safeway.
