This has bigger meaning than the primary topic of the article. If they say this, even if they don’t mean it, they’re still under the belief that they control all business across the US. There is no belief by anyone like Bezos that small business is even remotely competitive to them. This is complete domination of all business to say you can determine the work week length. It’s their AI. These aren’t our products helping us.

Where does the small business fit into these plans? If there’s no competition, then there’s no capitalism. If we have no capitalism today then it’s up to the people to determine what the next system will be.

But how did we get here? We’re not suddenly going to start making the right choices. Our choices led us here and they are what keeps us here.

My business works almost entirely organically. We charge a fair rate. Not the cheapest, not the most expensive. We never broke our ethical code. You’d be surprised how many people scoff at me.

As much as everything is a scam, a vast majority of the customers are asking to be scammed. Should I sell the cheapest shit, cash out, and walk away while the work performed for the customer breaks down within a few months?

People don’t get it. Still. It’s mostly the consumer’s fault for not choosing businesses with ethics. People chose quantity. That’s not a decent business person’s fault. Now, we’re here and very few businesses with ethics exist.

Whose fault do you seriously think that is? The person with the money who always had a choice where they could purchase a product or is it the competing businesses who offer a product? It only becomes the businesses fault when there’s no choice left.

There were choices. Choices were made. Now everyone is bitching about how there’s no good businesses left. So start giving your money to decent people.

It’s just like voting. You vote for the scummiest people. Wtf do you expect? A paradise? You’re not getting a paradise and you’re not getting a good product. You.
