Small-scale economic activity is loathed by the left wing. It makes it
harder to regulate and tax, and the economies of scale just aren't there
to allow for health insurance deductions, Americans with Disabilities
Act enforcement (e.g. special toilets and parking for "handicapped"), etc.

An interesting and enlightened response to a remark stating that

And with your vast knowledge and veracity you state the activity is
"loathed by the left".

It is apparent that (1) you are ignorant, and (2) a fool for
demonstrating the fact so blatantly on so public a medium as the
Usenet.
