At times, I almost dream.
(Mulder is standing in a long field. The grass is tall, up to his waist, and there is no sign of habitation save for a fence. There is a slight breeze. He is looking sorrowfully at two pictures.)
I, too, have spent a life the sages’ way and tread once more familiar paths. Perchance I perished in an arrogant self-reliance an age ago… and in that act, a prayer for one more chance went up so earnest, so… instinct with better light let in by death that life was blotted out not so completely… but scattered wrecks enough of it to remain dim memories… as now… when seems once more… the goal in sight again.
(The two pictures are very old and black-and-white, one of a civil war soldier, the other of a belle from the same time. The picture of the belle is ripped in half.)

I need people to stop buying into the idea that “small business” = “ethical business.” Many small businesses are wonderful, and absolutely deserve your support, but plenty others aren’t. If you’re genuinely concerned about where you spend your money, you have to do your due diligence even if a business isn’t a mega-corporation.
The lady who owned the small business I used to work at was horrible to work for, gave free coffee to cops, treated us all like shit, and got pissed if you didn’t worship the ground she walked on for giving you a job. I would never work for her again, and if someone asked me if they should apply to work for her, I’d tell them to run for the fucking hills. The turnover rate was atrocious when I worked there, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she still burns through employees at an unholy rate.
Small businesses are just as capable of worker abuse as big businesses, and they frequently get away with it because people refuse to believe that their beloved Mom & Pop Shop is run by rancid assholes who think Jeff Bezos has the right idea about how to run a business.
Small business owners CAN be better! They CAN be pro-worker and pro-union! But it’s not inherent, and small business owners can be some of the most abusive pieces of shit you’ve met in your life.
