True, but they’re probably not ripping you off and reporting billions in profit. Corporations are almost guaranteed to be. My neighborhood gas station is not on the list.

Nah, they’re just ripping you off and reporting thousands in profit.
They’re doing the exact same thing, just on a smaller scale. And if you got rid of the big corpos, they’d grow to fill the void left behind and start doing it on a bigger scale.
That is true, but it doesn’t automatically mean that business = dishonest. I like to give human beings some benefit of the doubt in a way that abstract things like corporations do not get. They were born into the same superficial capitalist dystopia I was, and their job might simply mean being self-employed and dealing with the general public. As somebody with a desk/wfh job, that sounds sucky in a retail sort of way.
Don’t misunderstand me though – plenty of them are total shitbags. I need to find a new local mechanic and it sucks. I’m just saying check your assumptions.
Corporation, you mean.
The word business covers honest people making an honest living running their own thing, too.
Just because a business is small doesn’t mean it’s honest.
Do you consider all businesses dishonest?

So every working person is an asshole and the only ethical way to obtain food is to steal it?
Doesn’t seem too ethical to me. Sounds like a justification for being an antisocial asshole.
Nah, most of them are just working for an asshole.
Well, you could also grow it yourself.
But, sure, stealing is one of the most ethical ways to obtain food.
So everyone is either a farmer, a thief, or an unethical food-obtainer. Got it.
Always fun to find out other people’s values and ethics.
True, sometimes the most abusive businesses are small.

Did I say it did?

And I wasn’t replying to you.
Why you replying to the corrected comment to someone else, after I deleted the accidental one?
