Amen! But all of the Mom & Pop stores are being destroyed by some of the biggest Democrat donors. I feel like the parties have switched. When corporations favor and finance Democrats to such a level, it tells me that Democrats are never going to curb them.

Would be a GREAT idea for this Administration to get those container ships docked and unloaded (some out in limbo for a month 😡). The next killer of small businesses....

there is no greater example of corporatist scale right now than a mandate. “our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” - MLK mandates matter. speak.

But that is Capitalism. When businesses compete eventually there are winners and losers. The winners continue to grow as they win, eventually to become a multinational. At that point they can buy legislation, which is legal, and put other small businesses out of business.

We all yearn for intimacy … Big companies buy small companies because the small companies have a creativity that the big companies don’t have … (even with all their power and money) … they can’t create the excitement, energy and passion found in small companies … Thank You!
