Must be nice not having business owners literally hanging out in the executive office all the time.

    Oh they certainly do but the SME lobby tends to have more influence. Repair shops are businesses, too.

    And it's not always a good thing, e.g. when it comes to the Supply Chain Act the fat cat lobby was way more sane than the SME one: Nestle doesn't mind monitoring its supply chain for human rights abuses it's quite vertically integrated and the practice is a great defence against lawsuits and also getting fucked over / internal corruption while the SMEs are fearing bureaucracy and costs. It's not like slave farm owners would share their ill-gotten profits with Nestle, they pocket the difference to standard market prices.
