Small businesses in irreversible collapse - and no one cares, the media barely covers it... why??

Small businesses in irreversible collapse - and no one cares, the media barely covers it... why??
"Because, fuck free markets/Capitalism."

--Dems/commies/progressives/"liberals"/
BLM/Antifa/KameltoeHarris/Bernie/AOC/etc.
 
Good OP. Very true. But wait a minute!

Didn’t I hear that all those boarded up businesses in our cities were the result of BLM/Antifa burnings? Isn’t that all that rightwing retards here have been sweating about for months?

Could it be that rural and suburban poverty and unemployment, especially when the Covid-19 special programs end, will effect millions of whites and small businesses too?
 
Yes this belongs in politics, because it is politics that is killing small businesses across the country.
I have been saying this for 3 months with little response even on this forum. We are entering into a place this country has never been before - the near complete loss of small businesses. In our locale, nearly 1/3 are closed indefinitely or permanently. It is the same everywhere.

So why is the news barely covering this??

Because the investment/financial class couldn't think of a better thing to happen. You can't invest in a small business. You can't cut 5% cream off the top by playing in the stock market... because they are not there. As every small business closes, in all likelihood the market will be assumed by a corporate box store. Or via online. And THAT can be invested in. So as small businesses close, this opens the door for $100s Billions in investable commerce that is off limits to them now.
And what will be the result - and even greater concentration of wealth.

Long live corporatism.





Its a harsh reality of capitalism...it doesn't care if you live or if you die. Whatever you sell will be sold by someone else; be it widgets, your talent, or labor.

Capitalism isn't a person, Candy! The harsh reality is that 'people' have decided that they don't care if businesses fail and others lose everything they've worked their whole lives for. That won't be forgotten...

The BLM/Antifa looting and burning was the second punch in the guts that business owners had to try and survive after they had their businesses shut down by a bunch of gutless politicians.

I was speaking in broad concepts relative to the services you provide. What you're saying about "people" is probably true as well.

It's better that businesses die than people die.

But don't worry, if these business owners are as hard-working and deserving as right-wingers claim all wealthy people are, they shouldn't have a problem landing a new job.
You think that all those businesses are wealthy people? Many putting obscene hours in to make their business a success and run a profit. Your going tolove it when the government runs everything. The McGovernment burgers will be open for an hour a day with the first hundred customers waiting in a long line getting the substandard poorly made sandwich. Which would be the equal of many government workers in other fields.

Well, if they're so hard working they shouldn't have a problem finding a job.
Ah, Richard? Fuck you! That's such a shitty thing to say about people who are losing everything they have you should be ashamed of yourself!
they say those things because they are sheep. And will follow their side off a cliff if necessary to avoid agreeing with someone not among the flock. It is called weak minded.

yeah...so... no. It has nothing to do with capitalism. Play less Empires and Puzzles and read a book.
Good lord.

We have a capitalist system in this nation. Right? I'm sure you'll disagree but I don't really give a shit.
Whatever it is you sell, the buyer can get somewhere else in our capitalist system. Right? I'm sure you'll disagree but I don't really give a shit.
So whether "you" survive in our capitalist system where anyone can sell anything at any price; the system doesn't care. Right? I'm sure you'll disagree but I don't really give a shit.

Try to understand what you're talking about .

No we do not have a capitalist system anymore. And certainly not a free market.
We have a quasi capitalism system, that in reality is corporatism. And corporatism is what is causing the wealth concentration and destruction of the middle class.
Read about it. Only you won't like what you read because Republicans and Democrats are equally corrupt with it, and equally employed by it.

We have a capitalist system. Corporations have mad advantages but capitalism doesn't care if they live or die either. Don't believe me? Ask Sears and Montgomery Ward. Or Eastern Airlines.

Never mind... your mind is closed. You may be thinking we are arguing over semantics, but we are not.
Capitalism is what changed the world for the better and is what the middle class is built upon.

The result of capitalism....

Socialism...

In all seriousness... this shows how our education system fails miserably at teaching the most basic economics. To think this is about capitalism, to think that all business owners are filthy rich. To not know what capitalism is, what socialism is - and the effects of each. To live in a world completely and totally surrounded by the benefits of capitalism and not see it.
No wonder this country has been taken over by corporatism and hardly anyone know it.
 
Government stepped in to help us with Covid, naturally its a giant clusterfuck that wrecked small businesses. Count me as not surprised.

Oh fuck off.

I only said that capitalism doesn't care if you're the one providing the goods or services. If you don't believe me, look at Sears, Monty Ward, Eastern Airlines, or any of the hundreds of other corporations that have gone by the wayside when someone else came along and did it smarter, faster and better. Its a harsh reality that in a free market, you're existence is precarious at best. In a global market, it's even more unstable.

As for defeating the blob who is doing nothing to help small businesses--you may remember he had his crap made in China instead of hiring a small US firm to make the shit--it is job #1. It should be yours too fuck face.
 
I guess this just goes to show the stock market is not the economy and maybe small business owner's should have a years worth of capital on hand at all times.
Wow, Debbie...that's about as cold as it gets! For your information most small business owners are in a fight for survival right now and what they NEED is the ability to do business without government interference. All this political bullshit about this pandemic? Somehow we've lost sight of the fact that people's lively hoods are being wiped out and literally millions of Americans face bankruptcy because a certain segment of the population has decided that's a price THEY'RE willing to pay to stay safe!

When I went into business in 1986 with a national franchise I had to prove I had at least a years worth of capital or could get my hands on it. Sorry man too many small business owner's go into it with a month or two capital. Who's fault is that? I hope they succeed. Now in the tourist states such as Florida they have banked all too long on the tourists coming. Some banked on military bases with no other manufacturing.
 
I've been saying this from the outset, that these lockdowns were going to result in the largest transfer of wealth to the 1% in history.

And that's exactly what is happening. Didn't need a degree in rocketology to see this one coming.
I swear to God, I think 3/4 of the people here would fail 3rd grade math. "Every small business should have a years worth of capital on hand"... I mean... how do you even respond to that kind of special ignorance?

Never had a national restaurant franchise have you? Probably not even a business owner.
