It depends on the industry. You’ll see some independent bookstores, a few art supply stores, and other niche things that corpos don’t really do well enough to completely obliterate all human passion in the sector. Otherwise? Nah, the only other area where mom-and-pop stores are doing well is restaurants. I had to drive four hours to purchase a lenovo computer from an official retailer (a mom-and-pop joint in the middle of nowhere in Massachusetts), since I refused to use Amazon.
It’s kind of hard to boycott American goods when you live in the country, but I’m trying my best.
You can at least favor smaller companies instead of the big corpos. By the way, are there small family-owned businesses still surviving?

That’s sad, but at least a few sectors persevere. I hope the anti corporate movement gives them a new breath
