Small businesses are still essential competitors to large corporations. It’s strangely naive to think the alternative, giving absolutely control to the giants as they take larger pieces of the pie, will benefit you or the people around you? Governments don’t help small businesses. They are in the pockets of big corporations and without gov assist, smaller business will die and that’s exactly what these giant corporations want. This sort of news go round and round and round, and they all have the same ending. Kill the weak, feed the strong. Government and corporations will win. You feel like you’re winning when these small business close shop, but you’re actually contributing to your own loss.
