I get what you’re saying, but there’s more nuance here. The smaller the business is, the likelier it is to fold within 1-1.5 years if a major compromise. I’m asserting that in the back of some FBI statistics published about BECs awhile back.

I would posit that your first list needs a conditional for “too big to fail”.

The US does not prioritize small business, or sole proprietorships.

Anyone even adjacent to business or finance during COVID could very clearly witness the wealth transfer, and the smaller competitors being swallowed.

Did you mean to reply to another comment? I don’t see the correlation between your comment and mine. I didn’t assert the US was small business friendly, just that smaller businesses are much more at risk than it seemed the parent comment acknowledged.

Which I think is an important point because by volume the majority of businesses in the US are small and mid-sized businesses.
