    The question specifically asked for small business industries though, and Big Oil is the polar opposite of that. I would argue that even the satellite freelancers (like a food truck stationed outside an oil rig) are still part of the industry. But you are correct, it is completely infested with right-wing reactionaries from top to bottom.

      I mean, yeah, but like, some dude that owns a gas station convenience store that's not affiliated with a major brand is a small business. As is someone that owns a small business that drives fuel to gas stations and other businesses from refineries and the like. Everyone on every level attached to the industry like that is a megachud.

        Or even a chain of them. Like Buc-ee's in Texas. Owned by a prominent GOP donor chud who gets appointed to state commissions.

      Small businesses are a huge part of Big Oil. A lot of their maintenance and expansion work is bid out to local contractors wherever a plant is, and those local contractors are purestrain beautiful boaters.
