People making 300k are probably miserable because they ain’t living like they make 300k.
I completely agree with the ma and pop thing but big corpo will eventually crush all of that, it can’t not. Like I had proactively not used Amazon for 6-7 months, not once. Then need new cables for the TV, anywhere locally, even the big box stores probably would have paid minimum in store $18-$25 a cable for the ones I bought, Amazon I got better cables than I would have locally for like.. $60 total for 5 cables. Not only did I save the difference, I basically made money in not leaving my home to go buy them
It’s gross but I ain’t rich enough to be propping up ma and pa on everything. There is a fantastic florist “Jam florist” in the hood on Hastings:
Totally amazing elderly Korean couple where it’s gotta be purely a passion project/way of life for them because they very clearly take amazing pride in a quality product that is not profitable lol.. like they amazing plants hanging baskets etc. arrangements at fair prices almost always buy something when I’m in there very kind people. And it’s a shame places like that are so hard up against it to turn a profit
Everywhere just gonna be money mart soon
