Support your local economy and buy local takeaway. When you spend money at a local shop, that money stays local instead of being sent off to some other region where an executive or investor lives. This keeps your local economy healthy by recirculating money within your area. It might cost a bit more, but if it helps your neighbor pay their mortgage or car payment or school tuition, it's worth it.
Also, talk to your local business owners. They're your neighbors, and having them is better than a faceless corporation.
It'll be sent to the owner's home country instead.
I'd honestly rather my money go indirectly to a family in another country than a corporate executive billionaire. I'm a pretty firm humanist.
Dw they also want to be executive billionaires and see nothing wrong with this.
