1. Alfie’s views on social distancing, mask and vaccine mandates?
In 2020, Oakes became the patriotic voice of many, refusing to enforce mask mandates, social distancing or vaccine requirements on his customers, employees and at his stores.
2. What are his views on Russia/Ukraine conflict?
While we all disagree with what Putin and Russia have done in Ukraine, we mourn for their people and their losses, we have got to urge our leaders to care about our country before it’s too late. We continue to provide money and resources and Americans are suffering as a result.
3. Thoughts on Organic & Local food and farms…
Everyone should know where the food they put on the table is coming from. Seed to Table is completely vertically integrated to ensure customers are getting the most nutritional value from their foods. If you can’t read the ingredient on the food label, it’s probably something you should not put in your body. Those who don’t live near Seed to Table should seek out stores that sell non-GMO products.
4. Gas prices, cost of living and economics today:
When it comes to the rising costs of living in America, these are directly correlated to the officials Americans have elected to higher office. All Americans have a patriotic duty to do their research and hold elected officials accountable. Voting, and gathering others to vote, is the only way to change the direction the country is currently heading in under the Biden administration.
5. His position on imported foods from Mexico.
The input costs of farming in most of America makes it impossible for farmers to make a living. Many Americans are being forced to get their foods from Mexico and other foreign countries. Until we have the proper leadership in place, Americans are having a difficult time supporting American based businesses. This is not the way it should be. Mexican farmers have every advantage over Americans.
