For example, during the George Floyd protests, you had a lot of people hand wringing over the fact that small, local businesses might get looted or destroyed. Similarly, when discussions of minimum wage arise, you get the bad faith actors talking about how it would ruin small businesses who can't afford it and would go out of business or see their profit margins drop significantly.

But why should anyone care about that? These small businesses are really just there reproducing exploitation and inequality on a smaller scale and sometimes in an even more insidious way because they try to draw employees in with that "we're a family here" crap while paying them even worse than a big brand might.

In the end, small business owners are seeking to do the same thing as big business; that being to increase their profits as much as possible, which naturally entails heightened levels of exploitation wherever possible. There is nothing noble about them just because they only have a certain amount of employees, or because they only exist in your neighborhood.

You preach against big corporations exploiting the common man but when the common man starts their own small business it's bad too?!

Just say you want s*** handed to you man

The George Floyd argument is valid imo. Destroying/looting a small business cause somebody dies is NOT cool. You just tearing down your own community of someone who worked hard to build that.

Niggas only argument to justify it was “businesses can be brought back, lives can’t” or some bullshit like that which doesn’t justify it at all.

There’s a saying this old man told me. He said if you’re running your own business than you’re broke. But if the your business is running YOU then you made some good money.

Entrepreneurship is for the workaholic who simply wants the book to be written by his own rules instead of following someone else’s.

Yea that's all planned. The location of the protests are in opportunity zones. The destruction of small businesses within the protested paths are apart of a larger real estate plan.

If you live in a major city, google the opportunity zone of your city, then laugh at how well organized these riots were
