We own and operate a small (15 employees) natural soap and bath product manufacturing business. We source our raw materials from all over the world. We also have a $200k EIDL loan from COVID days. What Trump is doing now with tariffs will destroy us and we’re genuinely scared for our future.

Imagine that, people are now hesitant to work for the government.

We increase prices, we lose customers. It’s a lose-lose situation for small businesses and consumers. Get ready for inflation and recession if the last 6 weeks are any indication of the future.

Either us or the Canadian customer. If we pass the cost onto the customer, they’ll be less inclined to order. If we eat the cost, we will still have to pass the cost onto the customer via unwanted product price increases for all customers. 🧵

Fuck Trump from Idaho.

Was that shot 1 or 2 of the shingles vaccine? Shot 2 kicked my ass.
