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.

    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.

          Elaborate?

          Oft doth the lesser tradesman escape with manifold misdeeds, forasmuch as no watchful eye of the public nor herald of the press attendeth his dealings, and the unseemly courses of such humble shops go unmarked.
