I own a business, a small business mind you that has yet to turn a profit but I am a business owner and I've been working 60 hours a week trying to build it to be successful.
There is this very negative stereotype about corporations and how evil they are and how we need to regulate them like crazy.
Let's take a huge corporation like google, google is a company I despise. I won't give my reasons here because it's irrelevant. But because I dislike them, I have removed them from my life. I don't use google for anything. I even adblock youtube on my phone and computer. (Sorry content creators)
When google does something bad people want regulations, instead of removing them from their life.
When you have a bad friend you don't ask the government to make them stop doing something. You tell them stop and when they won't you end the friendship. Companies are people the more you support bad business practices the more you will see of them. Regulations just allow bad people to stay in business, when you make it so a business can't destroy itself you ruin the concept of a free market.
My point being corporations are people, and just like people instead of asking the government to make them a good friend, you find a better friend. Theres so many small businesses out there that believe in treating people right, but it's hard for them to grow as we put more and more regulations on things. Where I'm from they've made a new rule on licenses for crane operators over a certain weight limit. It's not some license that you go take some simple test for, it's thousands of dollars per person. This means most small crane businesses won't be afford to run anymore, and definitely new businesses won't be able to be started.
This is sorta just my stream of thoughts on the subject.
I don't think it's coincidence that people have been trained to think of any business, regardless of size, when they are lead to think badly of "the evil corporations." In the long run, with the lack of distinction, they're helping big global corporations at the expense of basically every small business. The fact that people immediately look to government to solve all problems is also not coincidence, and considering big government generally runs hand in hand with big business, it's easy to see why the average person has this type of thinking hammered into them until it is practically an instinct.
I found out long ago that the average person on the internet would happily see your company go under simply because you're a business owner or a manager. Doesn't matter if your company doesn't make money, doesn't matter if your salary is less than many other professionals. All that matters is the word(s) "manager" "owner" "business" "corporation" etc. Instinctual attack dogs for big business and government, and they don't even know it.
