Massive organizations can do a lot wrong, and still survive a long time. My fear is that they are repeating the errors that led up to ww2. They are crushing the middle class with taxes and eco-fascist policies and inflation.

There is an aphorism that a large company only has to get one chance in twenty right to survive, but a small company cannot afford to get more than one in twenty chances wrong or it goes under.

As a small business owner, I say... this is the truth! It is absolutely incredible the shit big companies can do, and still survive and thrive!

A far-right agitator will popup (hello AfD!) and say, vote for me and all will be well. Since there's literally no other alternative, the middle class will do it, and then it could become dangerous.
