    It’s funny because I was saying the same thing basically in support of the tariffs and lemmy was unhappy with me.

      You were ahead of your time.

      But also small businesses will suffer or collapse and that sucks.

      Maybe it is more of a, “well now that they’re here what’s the silver lining”?

        What kind of change is ever good for a small business these days? We watched them get wiped out during COVID lockdowns, and we don’t really say shit about it only a few years later. Is there any change that has caused a boom in small businesses because I can’t think of any. It’s almost like they’re not fit for this world. Not saying this is good or bad, not a doomer, just saying it like I sees it.

        I understand tariffs are mostly bad unless applied skillfully, and maybe with some luck, but yes I think there can be pros, and the pros might he hard times.
