I think some of it also comes from a lower barrier to entry in many cases - the cost of supplying a small business (such as a coffee shop) has been lowered dramatically in recent years by technological advances in the supply chain, i.e. better tracking of coffee beans, more efficient delivery, etc.
- bhauer 12y agoI think it is this, precisely. And I think legislatively we should clear the way for small business by reducing the burden of regulation and oppressive bureaucracy.
- cheriot 12y agoI hear people talk about the "burden of regulation" a lot, but outside of breweries and distilleries, what are the regulations that are so burdensome? Things like building codes and inspections or are you think of things at the federal level?
- XorNot 12y agoVoting this up. Too often this is political code for "handouts to big business" by the way of environmental sundry exemptions, tax exemptions, immigration exemptions (hello H1B issue) and the like, none of which actual small business can take any advantage of (and which the people running said businesses would probably be close enough to the immediate effects of to find distasteful in a lot of cases). I would like to hear some concrete examples of what people think needs to be changed.
