I don't see how business is getting harder @natashahall. If you roll back to the industrial age and before, business was only in the hands of the few. You had to have some title and lineage to be able to conduct business. Though commerce has always happened opportunities today to be able to do business is much better. Almost everyone has the opportunity in their hands today.
Glad you like the article :)

You're absolutely right that we have much more opportunity today compared to the Industrial Age. I was referring more to recent years in my country where independent businesses, farmers and landowners are being taxed by independent corporations that have assumed a role in government (though they are not part of the government) and are working to put in legislation that will prevent businesses, landowners and farmers from having the basic necessities to prosper. Which essentially discourages independent business altogether.
But I completely agree that there are more opportunities overall for businesses today, especially with the advent of cryptos and the internet. Cheers!
