yeah its super hard for small businesses to survive in the current climate, especially in cali and the cities with rapid minimum wage hikes... the barrier to entry is getting higher and higher due to smothering regulations, but the big companies /incumbants prefer heavy regulations bcuz they can afford it and it raises the barrier to entry thus stifles potential competition

i actually had a theory about regulations recently

there will always be ebb and flow among the big and small businesses though due to the Pareto Principle which observes that the square root of an organization's workforce produce about half of the output value

so if you were to graph it out.... a company would have to grow exponentially just in order to sustain a linear trend in value output

which is not sustainable

it doesent actually make much sense for a corporation to lobby for higher regulations, because sure you can supress smaller bussinesses with those regulations but at the same time if they didint exist they wouldent cost you much money either and as a huge corporation you can just take losses to outcompete small bussinesses to death to get the same result without playing chance that the government will do what you want. government is just a middle man for something bussiness can already do. so i was thinking to myself why we live in a badly regulated situation where big bussinesses arnt really effected but small ones are, and it came to me, globalism

so basically makes it a lot easier for smaller businesses to nip at the heels of the giants because they have an edge over them in efficiency

but if it didnt make sense for them to do it, they wouldnt do it, but they lobby like made for government privileges, rent seeking, and regulations, thats just the reality of it

international companys are the least effected by national bussiness regulations because they are international, what they really dont want is national compatition, because that would just see them slowly being barred from a nations resources where as far as national regulation is conserned they are so big and such a many armed octopus that regulation in one nation doesent really matter that much because they make up for it else where

taking heavy losses is not sustainable though..... as long as there is a free and open, level playing field and no legal monopolies, there will always be market competition driving ebb and flow

also.... "government is just a middle man for something bussiness can already do." not really bcuz businesses dont have the power to levy taxes, that is key

only the gov can tax, businesses have to sweet talk you for money

sure substitizing is an option but it doesent have much to do with regulation

thats kind of a tangent

globalism is just a word that describes a plan for an unelected, corporate world government, to my understanding

not to be confused with globalization (like the internet phenomenon, other natural market phenomena, etc)

ah, i see what you mean about the super international corporations not necessarily caring as much about national regulations, yeah i agree

cus if it gets too regulated, they can just up and move out

which is still a capital/value loss for that nation, not to mention brain-drain

why we still need low regulations to entice them to come and set up shop 😉 and thus their wealth also spreads among the national communities in which they operate too.... its a win-win situation

i think a corporation could potentially have so much domination within a country that you cant actually win against them

an international one, it has no reason to care about your people beyond money, it can play hokepoki with you until your economy collapses for all it cares

not if there isnt cronyism going on between them and the gov tho.... bcuz the one tool that th gov has (and that is claims to use legitimately) is the barrel of a gun, governments can tax its people

so yeah, thatd definitely be a threat once fascism starts to grow in the form of state/corporate powers merging

eh fascism doesent work with international corporations

that is fascism after all, the merging of state/corporate power ... its quasi-private/public

i understand how fascism works

one leg in both worlds .... quite the formidable leviathon could grow out of that

you know for most of human history we were fascist

well that is w hat theyre are trying to set up , an unelected world-government based on corporate fascism

nah fascism doesent work with international

sure, i agree with that that ... its all over in symbolism in the House of Reps, and presidents statues, etc

it wouldent really be fascism at that point, similar but not exactly

Lincoln resting is arms on the fascio bundle of rods..... Washington statue with bundle of rods under his cloak

straight up fascio bundle of rods complete with axe plastered on the House of Representives wall .... all in plain sight

well when i say for most of our human history weve been fascist i mean, for most of human history those who own the land which the grain is grown on are also those who rule

yeah, basically its technocracy

i dont inherently think its a bad thing, though if an international entity that has no holdings to the native people of a nation is the one who owns the land and rules the people then i think that can be a VERY bad thing

ya, feudalism and the roman empire, etc... sure has been the "default" way of governing for more of human history for sure

ya, i see your point.... i mean .... i could be a really good benevolent dictator for life 😌

i mean there have been benevolent dictators throughout history
