Is there a single industry that is only localized?

I was thinking about it today because I keep getting ads for these corporate national home cleaning services. Can't leave that to the local small business owner?

Yeah I suppose there are some wildlife related things that are local by necessity
The cleaning thing I just don't get though. Who thought that needed to be some corporatized enterprise?

Yeah, it's absurd.
Sadly that's the country we all choose by policy but mainly just where we shop and what we buy.
We continually choose the America where groups with tons of capital seek and find every single small endeavor in which anyone is making anything close to a middle class income, take that over and make sure any profits above low wage jobs go to distant shareholders.

Yeah that's my main frustration with it. Could be a decent small business for people but now they have to compete with some venture capitalist goons in empty suits

You have to constantly work at pimping. The best pimps are always learning....talking to other pimps. Eliminating or phasing out the older inventory and bringing in newer fresher merchandise for their customers

Yeah, it's frustrating.
Long story but I have a family friend who's a private equity/ hedge fund type dude here in NY.
At a dinner, he was asking me about my record shop here. He spends time in North/South Carolina and also on the Florida Gulf Coast and was thinking about all the local record shops that seem to be thriving there. He started to talk -- in the kind of quick, exacting detail of someone who "gets shite done" -- about the feasibility of reopening new/used vinyl chain stores in the southeast.
I guess why I'll never be all that rich is my first thought was that all those unique shops are cool the way they are. I certainly don't want them replaced them with chain stores where the money goes to some investment group he represents that don't even know they have 3 record shops in Pensacola instead of people with a passion for the business that live and spend their money in the area . . . With someone like me showing up from NY every once in a while to be celebrated at a Chamber of Commerce event as an important "job creator".
Getting away from that model as much as possible is really what would make America better.
