True. The company benefits just compound this.

For the majority of very small towns in America, the richest family is probably the one that owns car dealership(s). They have a geographic monopoly so they haven't had to compete in the rollup of retail, banking, etc.

What? If you live in the very small towns of America you drive 30 minutes to 2 hours away to the dealerships in bigger towns which are usually owned by people far away.

That guys rich too
