So that's the situation. What's the solution?

I don't think that's by choice? 60% of Americans live in rural areas and why Wall-Mart is so popular. They simply drove out their competition and usually the only game in town. I actually don't like shopping there because I want to support my local businesses, but for ammo and fishing product prices? - hard to beat man.
So you buy from local shops selling only American made goods?

Still you state the problem, tell us the solution.
