If I had a billion dollars...sadly, I don't...I would start a program of seeding local businesses with guaranteed support for five years and the proviso that the business owner could only sell to another individual at the end of term. They would not be permitted by contract to sell to a conglomerate or even a private equity company. I see this as a way to undo the damage wrought by the pandemic and the attempted consolidation of the globalists.

It's a sad fact that American culture is defined by business chains (food, stores, malls, movie theaters), stupid television shows, and stupid movies. We've lost the local and regional magic of American life.
