Trade allows funding for thru supply and demand, dealing with any and all resources necessary to sustain life on Earth. If I am a tobacco farmer, I made trade a portion of my crop for a couple mules to help plow more fields for growing. When we barter for goods instead of purchasing/selling with money, our product diversity expands and broadens the horizon of possibilities beneficial to our trade. When I trade you Vegetables from my Garden for Barrels and Canteens from your distillery, I now have the necessary materials for crop irrigation which will potentially expand volume and quality of my garden. When you eat my vegetables to survive you are also investing in your life with proper nutrition and also possess infinite new possibilities in flavoring the beverages within your distillery. Next trade will be my giant carrots for your EggPlant Whiskey and you won't even owe me a % unless I present you with and patent flavorful new ideas to satisfy the needs of curious and intrigued customers. The variety will ultimately inspire others in diverse endeavors, like a domino effect of diversity and creativity, expanding the tiny minds of even the novice. Love and be love... restoring and maintaining good faith in our fellow Americans through continued fair trade. Amen
