Big business bad to many people but it’s the point of the USA. I disagree with it. But that’s the point of free market capitalism to the exception of anything else, Murica. Insert eagle (red tailed hawk) screech here.
The US has a long and storied history of busting up monopolies and taxing the ultra-wealthy upwards of 90%. You’ve bought into a fictional re-telling of American history; yes there are robber-barons, but there is also unionization. Yes, there are megacorps, but there are also trust-busters. The United States has never been a free-market, but it is popular for reactionaries to claim that it is or should be.
Many countries decide to incentivize smaller stores and punish chain stores. We call this socialism.

This is absolutely not socialism.
