Small businesses, at least in my area have the owners themselves work. So yeah means of production are owned by workers.
But they are living off of the value produced by their workers, assuming it's not just literally the owner working. Also, most small business owners I've worked really scummy and shady. A lot of people go into business because they are literally unemployable. Personality disorder, criminal past etc. You are much more likely to be a victim of wage theft.
There are a lot of shops here wifh literally the owner working(and in some cases their family also do work there).
And don't judge people with only this much info. You are attributing personality disorders to people you don't even know
Man, then who are supposed to employ them? Id you are employed, then it must be some business, except for government jobs(which only take a handful of people)
