No

CEO s do

Yes

Ey wouldn't fucking lay themselves off

They*

I wasn't replying to you

Of course they would.

What ensures it wouldn't?

we don't want to just hand things to people

Definitely yeah

I don't support a 15 dollar minimum wage

If I had the choice between a job and no job I'd definitely choose no job

Yeah

I would support a society of small businesses

Because screw my self amirite

I don't support it either, of course, because it impedes economic growth and makes small businesses impossible to operate.

in ancapistan starving is always an option

Most people don't like working

A society of small businesses can't work

We passed that era in 1800

Why not

employment totally isn't coerced in ancapistan

No, we didn't.

Lol.

Welcome to the 21st century

One word

Machines

I have small businesses near where I live, small businesses are everywhere.

Dude

They don't dominate the economy

You realize that to have big businesses, you need small ones first. It grows.

The economy is primarily an oligopoly

small businesses are getting pushed out by multinationals everywhere

^

it's like business gentrification

Dude

The number of small businesses are growing

Small businesses can't compete with multinational corporations

Lol only because the government is forcing it

And then the libertarian party sprung up to stop that

You guys must be blind, you have never seen a small business before? And you don't realize how important it is to ensure that business growth is speeding not closing?

Ironically

There has always been multinational corporations

Yes we have seen them before but that's anecdotal

Guys

multinationals will just undersell the competition until they're driven out of the market,

My Dad has a small bussiness

Statistically small businesses have been wiped out by multi nationals

RACE WAR!

because the eventual profits will cover their losses

Those are like lawn mower companies

That's why we need to get rid of free trade

Yeah, unless you have proof, don't cite statistics

Not retail or manufacturing

Most small businesses are not lawn mower companies

that's what's happening in poland(or was it austria) right now

Let's talk about one isse

There ya go

*Issue

No it's not lmao

multinationals push out all of the competition, then jack up prices

Look at that

Small businesses aren't wiped out, that is literally the most retarded thing I have ever heard. We have a problem where businesses are closing every year and it's declining. That isn't good for the economy at all, nor for the communities.

Eaxctly

It's in the toilet

We need some regulations

As a percent of GDP, small businesses are a minority

I'm not a libertarian or something

And falling

That's why we need to make sure companies can't move overseas but continue selling to us

you're confusing small businesses with startups

Donald Trump is making sure of that.

Welcome to capitalism

Your prices will skyrocket

No

they're becoming more common, but they usually fail immediately

They're paying third world idiots a buck a day to make your stuff

Imagine what will happen to the prices when they make Americans do the same jobs for ten bucks an hour

I KNOW

That's why we need to stop Free Trade

Tax them

Wrong way

Guys

That'll make it worse

First of all, it's not an economic structure's fault for workers in foreign coutnries being paid as little as $1 or less

I'm saying they can't afford to do it

For example

China

Guys

we've gotten to a point where CHINA is moving jobs over to belarus becuase of cheaper labour

Most of these are low skill level jobs

They're a socialist country, and they exploit their workers to make products which they then sell.

what?

They're not socialist omg

They're a free market

they're capitalist af

"Made in china"
