Can't compete because the government is fucking them. Think Walmart would be competitive if its employees were actually paid?

free markets require competition to work long-term

Because it's an anti-competitive practice when big businesses will lower their prices to the point of losing money per sale on the product that's sold just next door to put out mom and pop shot out of business. The government is supposed to help support competition, not limit it.

smaller businesses do compete
retail is not a typical market

business is about burning everything. they never understood how flammable they were. suddenly they are immolated, and they whine about competition.

Bcus of freetrade. Big businesses get protects made for a cheaper price and consumers are too cheap to pay a dollar extra on a good.

Small business just cannot compete when the global networks are against them. Free trade is just toxic, economists will try and prove to you tgat free trade is good, they will make it seem logical and beneficial, i fell for this jeeish trap, but after doing research, big multi-nationals are litrally jew ran and rape small honest businesses.

A truly free market requires government intervention to break up predatory monopolies.

when businesses get too big they resort to rent seeking because it becomes more cost efficient than delivering superior products for lower prices

>>70497045
Bigger business get more government protection and subsidies and tax breaks than smaller businesses. In a true free market, monopolies still aren't allowed and the playing field would at least be fair to everyone.

government regulation fucks with small businesses, case and point; Obamacare

Government regulation and selling out to big box stores

>source: happened to my grandfather

I run a small business and do the same thing as at least two bigger companies in my area. The difference between my company and the other bigger ones is that I have better prices but the main thing is that we have way better customer service and customers are taken care of much better. The thing about monopolies is that as soon as they drive a price too far over the market value a competitor can come in and undercut prices.

>why complain when smaller businesses can't compete?

because very few people have capitalism as an actual ideology?

>>70498461
The vast majority of monopolies formed and remained monopolies through govt assistance (by lobbying for barriers to entry for competitors, subsidies, etc.); monopolies that arise "naturally" on the other hand generally don't last very long.
