"Aye bro, why you sitting there using the middle man to get your shit? You know he takes a cut off the top? You gotta go straight to the source. You just giving away your cut to some nobody that you dont even need. You gonna let 'em leech off of you like that? You trippin."
This was inspired by listening to a clip of an interview about rappers owning their own labels.

Well I don't think it's really much of an argument though, at least where I am, there's groups you can join to collectively buy "products" straight from the farmers, or you can buy it yourself, if you use that much.
In this vein, I also know a few people who are mostly vegan, but will eat eggs from the chickens that they look after, so using your methods, but not vegan (buys vegan, but is vegetarian).
