Our regulatory "regime" protects us from a couple of billionaires taking over our economy and our politics like has happened in the US. It's a great long term investment. (37)
Hilarious you think Europe isn't controlled by a handful of oligarchs. (-19)

Well, then the question stands: why doesn't the market value their equity as highly? (3)

Europeans don't even have homes so they can't make such a business. No one wants to shop at flat depot.

America used to have local family-owned hardware stores on every Main Street, before (((Home Depot))) put them all out of business....
It's the (((American))) Way!!!!!!

But my fellow patriot, those family run stores can't beat the prices of Home Depot(tm), the variety of selection provided by Home Depot (tm), or the amount of money donated to Israel by Home Depot(tm)! Shop at your local Home Depot(tm) today!

Now, the gentlemen at my locally owned gun store don't seem to like Israel all that much!

There's two local hardware shops near me, as well as Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards, and Ace.
The key is living somewhere that doesn't suck

Also Ace is a retail coop, and the individual stores are very often local family-owned businesses.

our ace is so fricking expensive I only buy nuts and bolts there
paid $26 for a voltmeter that costs 13 bucks anywhere else and I was so annoyed that I haven't even lost it yet. I've managed to keep it around out of spite

But Ace is also the only place I can find these absolute GOAT snowblades
Up to 48" wide and no stupid rusty metal scraper, it's just thick enough to be its own scraper

Gotta be a smaller city that restricts competition because in major metros all that shit is Lowe's or Home Depot, there's no way smaller stores have the buying power to compete

There are some True Value still around. I'd venture the closest one to me is like 10ish miles away.

I used to walk to True Value with my grandpa when he was teaching me how to fix shit
(He actually wasn't really racist although not uh, politically correctโHe really held a grudge against Japs, though. Since a lot of his friends died at Bataan)

Here's one in a city that shares a border with Detroit, Michigan.
They also have a TrueValue and there's a Home Depot/Lowe's combo a few miles east in the next city over.
So, even with the big players nearby, mom and pop shops still do well.

Many stores got replaced by one slightly better mega store. Somehow this is a bad thing.

Why are redditors so against the idea of a ton of single-family business being replaced by medium density commerce? But apartments are somehow a good thing???

Take the train to flat depot and then haul your mulch up 6 flights of stairs to your tenement with no air conditioner or washer/dryer.

Take the tube to flat depot, passed the coffee cup inspection checkpoint. Buy fancy silverware have to pass a background check for the butter knife. Drag me mulch and me orange tipped butter knife out flat depot when a Muslim peace van runs me over. Utter dying "fookin muslims" red-head Bobby runs over puts a knee on my broken rib cage. Muhammad climbs out of the car and stabs him in the neck and the female police officer holding the only gun shoots a parishioner behind the 87 lb Muslim immigrant

Actually we have a way too small for some reason washer and dryer that just makes clothes damp, both inscribed with some heathen language and shared between 8 families. It's located in our dank below ground basement. Chud.
Lmao could you imagine.

Lol that reminds me of when I stayed with my buddy in a suburb outside Paris. It was like a 3 story home and the bottom 'basement' was reserved for hanging damp clothes to uhhh stay damp? Felt a little medieval but his family was nice

I believe
this is because their dryers aren't allowed to vent the steam 
from drying clothes 
for some reason
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Maybe humidity of something? @PeepeeButtKiss stayed in an AirBnb in Florida recently and the dryer didn't vent steam out, just drained and accumulated in a container you emptied after it was done. Took forever too dry clothes

They really do have the worst appliances. I eventually gave up ever getting my clothes dry at home and opted for a clothes line or the laundromat. This is one of those things I would've never known had I not lived overseas. God darn I love being American ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฆ
