That is, of course, WEF's plan: the elimination of all small/mid-sized businesses in favor of their Partners.
I was listening to something about the private equity takeover of some industries. It was a fascinating "unintended consequences" situation.
Back in 82 or 83, the Federales decided that they should bump up the student loan programs and reduce teh # of straight grants they issued to students. The logic was, assuming you believe it, that more students would be able to be assisted.
As we all know 40 years later, all it did was move money from Mom and Pop America into the institutions of higher learning. College didn't get cheaper, it got more expensive. MUCH more expensive. Well over 2x the inflation rate for the better part of 40 years.
Anyhow, this program was talking about private equity buying up vet practices b/c older vets want to get out and younger vets can't buy teh practices because. . . . .
THEY HAVE TOO MUCH STUDENT LOAN DEBT!
I guess it was a major conspiracy by our lizard overlords FORTY YEARS AGO to devise a plan to stuff it to the general public 35-40 years later. LOL
Sometimes, an opportunist will just take advantage. To be honest, in a lot of high traffic areas, it would be impossible for a small business to succeed. The overhead is massive. You NEED a corporate entity to absorb the times when they can't make their nut. I'd rather have a small business, but in retail near a tourist area? They're gonna get sucked up and spit out by corporate America just because CA can handle the economic gyrations better.
All THAT said - while if I'm going out to breakfast I go to some local diner, I do enjoy, on occasion, an Egg McMuffin. Plus it's probably the healthiest thing on their menu, bar none.
