UBI, but only for small businesses.

A survival income for businesses that already exist and keep a place alive, but can't win on pure profit. My list: 🏘️ Last grocery shop in a village 💊 Small-town pharmacy 👞 Shoe and watch repair 📚 Independent bookshop 🥖 Local bakery 🔧 Village mechanic, plumber, electrician 🎹 Piano tuner, tailor, bike repair 📻 Electronics and hi-fi repair (right-to-repair angle ⚡) ✂️ Barber in a town of 800 people Add yours... The rule behind them: social value is bigger than profit. When they close, the town loses more than a business. It loses a reason to stay. Pay the baker who keeps a town alive, or pay freeloaders to stay home. Which one is the better deal?

Socialism much? Everything is cyclical. When big business moves in and takes over people choose to go there. Until they dont. Then small business gets lean and competes and they win back the local customer. Repeat ad nauseum over decades.
