DOLLAR FAMILY
TREE DOLLAR
New 23 and Me name just dropped
Not pictured: Dollar General right across the street
Most innovation capitalism breeds, by far, is better ways to lobby government, better ways to convince customers to pay extra, better ways to get the workforce to tolerate miserable conditions without complaint.
Those are cheap in contrast to new space-age materials and faster microprocessors.

Dollar Tree bought Family Dollar. Hence them being the same store (it’s not two dollar stores right next to each other).
Why two signs, idfk. Maybe they were worried people would be upset that their beloved Family Dollar was replaced with Dollar Tree, so they’re easing people in by making it clear they’re the same thing
The true innovation of capitalism.
And they’re surprisingly exploitative of communities.

Do tell, what overbearing regulations did Dollar Tree and Family Dollar lobby for? They don’t really do anything different from any normal retail space so I don’t see how that’s really a feasible explanation in this scenario.
If corporations own the government and the government ruins everything, corporations ruin everything. Just want to make sure that I say that because people see regulatory capture as an excuse to get rid of regulation entirely rather than making bribery illegal again.
Maybe it’s what you’re saying, but regulation per se isn’t the issue. If regulation is stifling small businesses, this is largely the result of regulatory capture, where large corporations lobby for regulations that only benefit them; such as requiring certain licenses only they can afford, or requiring practices they themselves invented and own the rights to.
Oh no the mom and pop dollar store doesn’t exist in the building with the other 2 dollar stores 😭

True, we should take that money from the corporate ceo and redistribute it among the middle class to compensate
Big dollar store is destroying democracy. To stop them we must regulate them less
Durr, corporations fuck everyone over even with regulations in place. If we remove regulations, I’m sure they would treat us better. Hurr.
this is basically what lewis black warned us about with his starbucks end of the universe routine
I choose the one on the right.
It’s the same store
Not sure about that… Getting a whole tree for a single dollar sounds like a good deal! On the other hand, receiving one dollar from a an unknown family is a bit shady - does the family even have a choice here?
