Oh what a world... First we over tax and over regulate small businesses. Then we shut down our lives and small businesses during a pandemic while injecting trillions of dollars into the economy. Our governmeny expanded the money supply by over 40% in just a couple short years - more money injected into the economy than ever before - and ALL of that money FLOODED to the rich and powerful... (They constantly decry trickle down economics so this is their answer- to FLOOD money to the rich!?!)
Not only did that money all flood to the top, but now we are all paying for it with hyperinflation and increasing destitution. (Homelessness, evictions, grocery bills... all on the rise)
Small businesses are being targeted and eliminated by a government working hand in glove with big business to obliterate any sense of competition, and this cost is beared at all of our expense.
Don't believe me? Open your eyes and witness these multi national conglomerates continue to own more and more which will ultimately reduce your freedom of choice. Instead of thousands of smaller busineses we are now at a point where only a handful of corporations own the majority of all commerce.
If we want to see a world with many more small businesses like the mom and pop shop tackle stores we loved growing up- then we need to stand up to our ever increasingly regulating government, by limiting their power. But alas, perhaps it is too late... I might agree with Tom and many others in here - enjoy the few shops left while we still can, because they will soon be gone.
