    Who said I owned a business? That sure isn’t my cup of tea even if I could afford it. I just know people who do. Some are pretty well off, others not. One of them went out of business this year. They had been scraping by for years and the downturn since Trump made them unprofitable so they saw no need to continue.

    What have I done? Voted. Sent messages to my representatives. I’m not against more direct/aggressive action, but I don’t think that’s me. I’ve never been that way.

          There’s an argument to be made that participation in the electoral system does have a social cost. I guess my preference depends on how/where you participate, and that’s really not the part I care about.

          Its the armchairing.

            The armchairing about what exactly? This all spawned off a guy tossing all business owners into a single bucket and my having a problem with that.

            Owning a business doesn’t automatically make you not poor.
