Who cares if the Seeseepeepee has a 90% approval rating. China doesn't have a blue party that reverses everything the red party does every 4 years, therefore China is a not democracy. Sorry, tankies.

      As I’ve gotten older, small businesses are just hilarious to me

      I worked at one in high school, made minimum wage and they had me go to Walmart to buy their ingredients. Turns out all you need to start a small business is some generational wealth and ignorant teenagers you can underpay. I will always shit on small businesses, I don’t give a fuck if they’re marginally better than corporations.

        I honestly hate small businesses even more than big corporations. Big corps act more consistently, and individuals inside them don’t usually benefit from fucking you over.

        Renting an apartment in a corporate complex >>>>>>>> an individual slumlord. The corporation actually hires maintenance staff that doesn’t gain anything by cheaping out. When my dishwasher broke here they ordered one the next day, the only delay was because of supply problems. When my dishwasher broke in my apartment owned by one lady it took months and I had to pester her and she tried and failed to fix it herself multiple times first.

        Small businesses just let you pay more money for worse services who often treat their employees way worse to enrich a local tyrant instead of one further away

        Plus, although this is a silly reason bc it’s not like a revolution is close, but big corps can be much more easily transitioned to socialism. Amazon and Walmart are gigantic centrally planned economies that should be nationalized
