National Small Business Week is a joke
Last week was National Small Business Week. Did you notice?
If you’re like most small-business owners, probably not. Why? Because National Small Business Week is a farce. It’s a joke. It’s not really about small businesses. It’s about politicians and big corporate brands who want to sell their messages and products to small businesses.
Around the country, the Small Business Administration (SBA) has been handing out?awards?to those they’ve determined to be small business “winners.” Who are these winners? Surprise, surprise, most of them skew younger and seem to come in all sorts of colors, races and genders,?even though?racial minorities own less than 20 percent of small businesses and the vast majority of small businesses are owned by white men over the age of 50. (Shh — no one wants to hear that.)

1 年You are right! I was too busy running my small business to notice. I don't always agree with the headlines but this one is right on target. None of these people or organizations actually care about small businesses in fact I might be inclined to argue that the opposite is actually closer to true. Thanks for the story!
