Does Local-First seek to subsidize inefficient local business?

No. Free-market economists forget that the United States is a crazy-quilt of thousands of market imperfections - subsidies, regulations, insurance liability limits, tax wrinkles - nearly all of which favor non-local business. Buy local campaigns are very modest efforts to adjust this tilt in the playing field.
