Nobody guarantees small businesses the right to exist. Sure nobody can plan for a pandemic but the government’s responsibility is to society at large, not the plight of small business owners.
- gjsman-1000 5y agoOkay, society at large has 47.5% of its people employed by small businesses. If you removed their right to exist, you’d have 50% unemployment. Also, what the heck? The Supreme Court has ruled businesses have some constitutional protections repeatedly.

- will4274 5y ago> Nobody guarantees small businesses the right to exist. This is a bit of a dead end argument. By the same token, nobody guarantees that there is food in the supermarket for people to purchase. Yet, if there wasn't, and 90% of us starved, it'd be a fairly major problem. Small businesses and their employees make of roughly half of "society at large".
- chrismcb 5y agoYou don't think society needs small businesses? Out big businesses for that matter, as many big businesses received bailouts. Personally I would say a healthy society requires a good number of businesses.
