How many small businesses did Home Depot kill?

You win idiot of the day award, but I'll answer you anyway.

0 by government fiat, which is what Obama Care is doing.

0 any other way either. Oh, if customers killed off some small businesses because HD and Lowes are superior places to shop, then that's another issue.

FTR: they have helped create jobs and businesses since small contractors do zillions of dollars of business with HD, buying and selling, to their mutual beneift.

You should go back and learn some basic economics.

A lot. And widows can’t find appropriate help from this sector. They depend on small hardware stores to assist in their keeping up their homes.

Home Depot workers will say yeah it’s over there. Mouth breathers.

Anyway, they can cry me a river. They’re so on board with HD+S rights now they’re saying to themselves, hey how the f was that good for business. Been boycotting them for years over that.

I meant gay rights.

It’s happening everywhere, while the receivers of received wisdom tell us to learn “basic economics”. I’ve just seen a film about a ghost town in Germany, whose economy was completely, entirely destroyed by such big box stores. Hey, but drive by a HD and you’ll see how many jobs are created there for illegal immigrants.

yea, it’s ok to start a small business as long as you don’t expand and offer bigger selections and lower prices. Soon other towns will want the shopping experience and more people will want to work for you and you will be greedy and build more stores and ruin the economy./sarc

Beware! It’s impossible anymore to acknowledge simple reality without being accused of hating something, some negative aspects of that reality, and of being an idiot by self appointed Internet experts who have an answer for everything, and will mock anything you say, true or false, only because the ignorant fools that they are they have to win and prove to themselves their superiority! It’s really an easy to diagnose psychiatric syndrome. (I happen to have a double Ph.D.)
