BS.
I just want to make sure I'm reading your post correctly.
Are you saying that you know what happened to 36.2 million small businesses in America because you own 3 of them and know that they didn't suffer?
I'm just checking. Surely you wouldn't say something that stupid, but you never know around here.

BS
Data says it's true.
quote:
Widespread Impact: About 62% to 81% of small businesses report that tariffs have negatively impacted their operations, leading to higher costs, price increases, and delayed expansions.
High Risk: Small businesses, which make up 97% of U.S. importers, face intense pressure from increased costs, with 74% expressing concern about their survival over a 12-month period.
Job Losses: Small businesses with fewer than 50 employees experienced significant job cuts, such as 120,000 workers laid off in November 2025 alone.
Manufacturing Impact: Approximately 40,000 small businesses are manufacturers, and many are struggling with the costs of imported materials
That's from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
I don't know why anyone would doubt it or deny it. It's exactly what some of us told you was going to happen with these tariffs, and none of us are the Amazing Kreskin...it's what happened in Trump's first term, just on a much smaller scale (because the tariffs were smaller and more focused.)
When idiots like Slow Dumb Vagina Tiger were crowing about prices not going up (which they have already in some industries), some of us tried to tell you cult members that passing along the cost was only one possible negative consequence of the tariffs. Laying off workers, downsizing, freezing raises and promotions, cancelling expansions, etc. is likely what would happen first as businesses tried to avoid losing market share by being the first to raise prices, eventually giving way to the inevitable, which is either closing your doors if demand doesn't allow price increases, or raising prices.
According to that data, looks like that will happen sometime this year.
My original prediction was this summer. Might take a little longer based on that info from the Chamber of Commerce.

Reading the old thread, and all the "Defending the left/Biden" idiocy, I wonder if they're reversing course now with Trump's tariffs

No one cares about your lemonade stand when real businesses have been closing and suffering.

Nah.
He doesn't even have to try to do that with his base. Remember, "I could shoot someone in the face on 5th Ave. and my poll numbers would go up?"
There's no special skill needed to spin to cult members.
The special skill is creating the cult members in the first place.

And what exactly do you do?
Because we own one and were impacted. I've shared supplier emails and even an example we had with one of our clients. As far as I know I may be the only poster that went to that level of openness.
It isn't BS that small businesses had extreme difficulty and impossibilities in replacing their supply chains depending on what they sell. You should already know that so stop pretending otherwise. Just because you may own a business that wasn't impacted doesn't make it true for everyone else. Which you seem to be speaking for. You and your wife may very well not provide services that were impacted. We have had multiple posters here share examples and they're not exactly leftists looking to take a dump on Trump.

For the record I don't have a problem with that. I just want it to be done legally. The spin to defend this loss is what cracks me up.

I thought tariffs were supposed to replace the income tax, and provide free-money checks to err'y body.

You screwed your whole argument when you invoked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
In short.. frick the Chamber.

Nope. I'm saying that it's BS that there was a massive closing of businesses due to this.
And hell yeah the Chamber will try to say it was because they are 100% on the other side of the coin in what they want. The Chamber ceased to be a help to small businesses, mom and pop businesses a long time ago.

Nowhere in that does it even mention going out of business.
So here's the deal. You want to bitch and scream about tariffs and how they hurt US businesses and then you post some BS from the Chamber. While at the same time laughing your arse off when somebody mentions the trade deficit and how it cost the USA massive losses in jobs and businesses.
2001–2011 China WTO Entry; Deficit triples. 60,000+ small manufacturing firms closed. Not struggling, not having to raise prices.. not laying off. Actually out of business.
1971 was the last year the US had a trade surplus. Nixon ended the "Gold Standard" (the Bretton Woods system). The dollar was no longer backed by gold. This allowed the US to run deficits indefinitely because we could now "print" the global reserve currency without needing gold to back it up.
Between 1979 and 1983 alone, U.S. manufacturing lost nearly 3 million jobs. Where was your fake concern?
You all complain about the printing of money and our debt. Yet it turns out, you just really don't give a shite.
We can not continue to run massive trade deficits. Period. You may want to go back and study the issue.

Where did I say that there was not an adjustment? Just like there was an adjustment when we decided to go the libertarian route in trade.
But the over the top "the world is ending" is simply BS. It's not.
And you will have tariffs. period. Get use to it.

You're actually getting a lot of upvotes in this thread, surprising. But I agree here, use the proper paths to tariffs and none of this happens.

I'll raise you an n=8, because I've seen several customers cease offering products completely, 2 closings, and several others move all of their production overseas because of Trump's tariffs.
