We do a lot of shopping at a place up here called Superstore, which is a big food chain in Canada under the Loblaw umbrella, and IGA which is under the umbrella of the shady sounding conglomerate Empire Company ... LOL Sometimes we hit Wal Mart for deals on disposables like paper towels Kleenex ect. Once in a while we visit the local farmer's market, but not as often as we would if it were more convenient.
 
So you hear all the controversies about the Koch brothers, billionaire executives who spend hundreds of millions of dollars from their stash to support right-wing Republican political campaigns. They are mostly thought of as oil executives, but their companies also produce a number of consumer products that are quite popular.

So consider Georgia-Pacific paper and engineered lumber, Brawny and Sparkle paper towels, Angel Soft and Quilted Northern toilet tissue, Dixie cups, Vanity Fair napkins, and lots of other products that consumers buy every day.
