Another advantage of small businesses is that when they post wanted ads for jobs, you can be quite sure those jobs exist, while with big businesses, there is a strong chance that it's a ghost job in that there is no actual job being offered, it only exists to make the business look good for investors, collect data when people send in job applications or scare their existing workforce into accepting poor wages.

This is the true reason for all the “regulations” governments enforce. Corporations can afford them, because it strangles competition and makes them more money in the long run.

Mom and Pop stores should have never been snuffed out.

No no....the government allows big companies to make it too expensive for small companies to compete through regulation.

Another thing that drove more people to start their own business was the massive layoffs during Covid was coupled with CEOs taking massive bonuses in pay.

Small businesses cover almost any location, but big corporations only cover the high traffic area. Rural areas are almost completely reliant on small businesses and anything needed from a large corporation requires a minimum of a day trip to get it.

My favorite part of the “essential workers” was the nurses doing Tik Tok dances. Because they were just, that swamped with patients…

The vast majority of NDA’s are unenforceable HOWEVER, the mere presence of these clauses tends to scare people into compliance and when they don’t, the corpos will usually run you dry with legal action until you stop trying to compete.

I lost 1 job during covid, found another one that I left after 2 months due to abusive practices, and then started the job I've been working every since

My ex is a carpenter... When she works side jobs for herself she makes 2-3x the hourly rate she could get working for someone else... And she charged the customer less than most other companies or contractors would

My dad had an ice cream factory and anyone who drove one of his ice cream trucks had to sign non-compete agreements meaning if they stopped working for him they weren't allowed to drive an ice cream truck within 100 miles. Eventually oregon banned that so he had to get rid of it thank god.

its not hard to start a business, its hard to find a good niche that you can fill that is worth it. Always incorporate it with limited liability protection so it can never destroy your whole life if it fails and the best way to limit taxes is to make it an s-corp. I live in one of the fastest growing towns in TN, and almost every new resturant or food cafe bs closes within a few months because the market is already saturated with large chain resturants that usually all suck ass or their niche has already been filled by the ones that opened up a decade ago and have established themselves already. Iv had 2 friends parents back in middleschool and hs that opend up resturants and luckily for them they actually managed to stay in business for a few years before selling them off.

if people as a whole stop buying from large businesses and only small businesses. well those corporate suits would come groveling back. good im glad. unlike the law tells you corporations are not really people. people are people. so small businesses are where the real people are.

Remember: The BIG businesses all started out small.
