    So do you grow your own food and harvest your own electricity and smelt you own ore to make your own electronic devices to post on the internet that you’re accessing via your own isp?

    “Small business owners” feels like an arbitrary line. Sure, there’s those that are doing it because they’re bootlickers and capitalists, but restaurants are terrible investments. If you’re avoiding chains and conglomerates, you’re more likely to be supporting a comrade who is trying to survive in a capitalist country. This is not an ACAB situation. There are employee owned small businesses and work places that treat workers fairly.

      As I said, I just do everything I can to minimize spending, because spending keeps the economy afloat. Cooking my own food is just cheaper, and thus reduces spending overall. You don’t need to follow my example if you disagree, that’s totally fine, do what you feel is right.
