The recent "covid crisis" crushed several nice businesses in my town. All small businesses, locally owned.

Walmart didn't even blink. The big chains are just fine.

In fact, the failure of small business has provided big business with opportunities to scoop up cheap properties. Not to mention the removal of competition.

And by "covid crisis" I actually mean the policy and propaganda ostensibly generated in response to the "covid crisis".

Because compared to the damage done by our politicians and media, the damage done by covid was actually quite small.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.




Perhaps the damage of covid was small because of the international effort to respond to it?
