I see your point, and I agree that this is essentially market forces squeezing out less fit businesses, which is sort of a good thing. But on the ground, what that translates to is that becoming a small business owner feels like it’s no longer a pathway to the middle class for a lot of folks in this state. A generation or two ago, anyone with the organizational skills and gumption to start a business had a fair shot. The odds are just much worse now.
