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.
