It also seems like this will lead to monopolies (in reality, even if not in name) and these corporations will do whatever they damn well please. They already do, to be clear, but it will simply be more overt and draconian.

The Dollar Store Backlash Has Begun https://getpocket.com/explore/item/the-dollar-store-backlash-has-begun

#StrongTowns ep. w/Stacey Mitchell, Exec.Director., @ilsr speaks about lot more than just #DollarStores. She speaks of getting #Corporatepower under control. "We need local governments to be responsive to the people, breaking up, pushing back & downsizing power of corporations & building up local businesses, enterprises, organizations & institutions that local people have control over. The building blocks of #democracy are at the local level."
