Episode 2030: Kalen Bruce challenges the idea that business success inevitably leads to becoming an “evil corporation,” using Walmart and KFC to show how perception often shifts with scale rather than substance. He argues that growth, job creation, and competitive pricing are natural outcomes of capitalism, and that size alone doesn’t determine ethics. The piece invites listeners to rethink their assumptions about supporting local versus large businesses and what “too successful” really means. Read along with the original article(s) here: Quotes to ponder: "Businesses will grow and businesses will die. That’s how capitalism works." "Don’t pay twice the price by shopping at a local supermarket just to prove a point." "If we support a business growing from one store to two and from two to three, then why wouldn’t we support a business growing from one to 10,000 over several decades?"
