    Lmaooo. This guy says Trump sold to him that “he’s a businessman”. Bro, he doesn’t care about YOUR business. Trump bankrupted casinos. He doesn’t care about the concept of businesses, he cares about money. You could probably find a sum to get all your employees out of hot water, the question is whether you could afford it or not. This feels like a loss for the community, but I hope all his locations go under and get replaced by places that value the employees and community they serve more than this guy.

    Absolutely idiotic behavior to vote for the racist “mass deportations now” candidate when your livelihood depends on the exact people he’s talking about deporting. He couldn’t see this coming when they went around saying they’re eating the cats and dogs? What has he done since then to organize and protect not just the people, but his investment? Oh, nothing? Sounds about right. Interminably frustrating. How are there always more of these people?

    You can hear it in these idiots’ voices: “he said he was a business man” as if somehow that makes Trump (or anyone) trustworthy, smart, loyal or anything other than a greedy pig.

    Small business owners, the more I learn about them, seem to be unusually stupid compared to the general population. Like they get a taste of minor success and think they’re Gods among men and their interests are worth protecting over all others.

    Fuck this guy and his ilk.

      I completely agree with your observations of small business owners. Seen it happen with close family members. I believe the term is petite bourgeoisie.

      They are. They think having to work 50 hours a week to make 100k a year makes them a rich person, because they do their own taxes and ‘own’ a business(or rather, are paying off a business loan).

      They literally don’t know the difference between a billion, and a million

        Duh. The difference is 1000. That’s not that much.

      Small business owners see the market and still take on debt to try to sell something. They are either dumb or bold. And those aren’t mutually exclusive.
