I don't understand the point of emphasizing corporations over brands. There are many toothpastes available to me in any supermarket. They vary by brand, and about five attributes (whitening, enamel protection, etc.) How would things really be different if those brands were offered by more or fewer corporations?
I generally prefer Starbucks over Dunkin' Donuts, but both offer a wide variety of options.
- kerkeslager 7y agoI don't understand why, as a consumer, you'd care about brands. Corporations often differ in some fundamental ways. Since 2017, 100% of Dunkin Donuts locations are franchises[1]. This puts a Dunkin Donuts location somewhere between a local business and a multinational corporation in my mind--when there are no local coffee shops available, I'll choose Dunkin Donuts over Starbucks, because I'd rather support small business owners who are more directly responsible to their customers.
