Yes but I'm pretty sure the coffee shop down in the village gets its paper cups from the same or similar supplier as Starbutts. Of which I'm sure few are neighbors. And more of the money, control, dignity, and flavor stay local.

All I'm saying is alot of people will loose there jobs if a large company goes under. I would hope in return the local place makes up for that but then they become the thing they hate and it turns into a cycle?

Mom and pop shops can't build jet planes or run fiber optic across the ocean, big companies can. But do corporations need to take over everything? Look at airbnb, every day people got to make money off their extra space then big companies started buying houses and renting them on the same platform and pushing everyone else out of the way.
