A beloved family-run grocery store in Florida may soon close its doors after more than four decades in business — and the owners say tariffs are to blame.

The trouble began when President Donald Trump’s tariffs took effect, shaking the foundation of small import businesses across the country.

        We don’t deserve trump and the shitty republicans that pushed him to the top, no…. But the people that shat on everyone else in a fit of rage by electing trump to be their avatar? Yeah. I think they do deserve it.

          while i get the feeling (in general people voting to harm others ought to at very least endure first the harm they wish on others) but i don’t think even nazis deserve concentration camp internment and genocide. if we’ve got a stick big enough to do that, we have a stick big enough to do better.

            This is about a business owner losing his business due to the person he voted for. Not someone being genocided. So I have no clue why you are bringing that in

                He campaigned on doing the whole idiotic tarrif thing that crashed and burned in his first term. It was one of the only actual policy positions he stood by without his vague non answer bullshit.

                This guy who voted for him, having seen him campaign, and should have known it would hurt his business. Guy specifically voted for the guy who campaigned on ruining his business. Yeah he deserves this.

                You trying to divert the topic to something no one else is talking, does nothing.

                small businesses often get away much more shit than a larger one does, because theres no media attention on how unethical some small businesses operate.

            We aren’t even punishing them. Their own choices are quite literally doing this to themselves. I’m just enjoying the show.

        The morons who voted to fuck us all over not only completely deserve it, terrible things literally MUST happen to them to make them change their behavior. These people are too stupid to learn by example, they refuse to think critically and they don’t care about anyone but themselves, so “look at the people you’re hurting” doesn’t work on them. The only thing that will make them change their ways is to get completely fucked over by their ways.
