The tiniest of drops in the bucket but with my small business, I recently had to cut one job and reduce some hours for the first time in the 16 years I've been open.
Main reason is the rising costs of merch and supplies and shipping issues after the tariff battles began coupled with a steep decline in international tourism from Europe/Japan/Canada.
Just one very small example but these recent policy decisions have had a more drastic effect on small businesses than any I've experienced and because it's small businesses it's often ignored.

I am curious which president will oversee the coming economic shift that is bearing down globally.
Pretty much every nation has its own version of affordability crisis on top of mortgage crisis on top of employment crisis.
France has an unaffordable pension crisis.
Canada has a mortgage issue coming to head along with poor GDP growth for years.
The UK is a mess.
Most Asian countries have some degree of generation crisis coming due to aging populations and lack of replacement.
China is facing its own economic issues.
Russia is hurting economically.
Globally it is a mess.

MAGA will say this is good because some liberals lost jobs
AI doesn't give a flying frick about your political party. If your job can be done by AI, you're going to lose it. And there’s more to come.

People will agree with this all day long then when election time comes around they take a side. I know we... humans.. are tribal so its the human thing to do, but what makes us the intelligence we are is having the ability to go beyond our instincts, but its the same shite, same cycle on loop.
Campaigning starts a year before election, in that year things happen that seem so important and people take sides and fall into one party or the other. People are upset and mad.. Election comes, people vote, president is elected and then all of a sudden what had been important for the past year just fades away. No matter who gets elected they are controlled by corporations, etc. Pretty much any entity that can pay for influence. That's the goal of both parties, to gain the majority in order to be able to have influence on what gets passed and what doesn't.
Yet people tell us how important it is that we go out and let our voices be heard, etc. It doesn't. I personally think the US needs an infrastructure upgrade, I think there needs to be a complete makeover of our education systems. I think more needs to be done to secure jobs for Americans, but we are too worried about shite outside of our country that that's were the money goes. I am glad we have a strong military, but they have an annual budget of just over 1 trillion a year. That is an insane about of money. 1% of a trillion is 1 billion.. So frick em all.
