    I do something similar to the clothing thing but with buildings. Like if I see an old run down store I think about if that was someone’s dream to run and it just didn’t work, or they retired and it fell apart. I develop weird empathy for buildings doing this 😅

      I used to feel bad every time I saw a newly-opened small business that had closed.

      It’s still sad sometimes. However, ever since I worked in a few small businesses, I got to see just how batshit some small business owners are.

      Now when I look at a “new” small business that just closed, I can’t help but suspect that a power-tripping owner probably fucked it all up through their own arrogance.
