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.

    Hello fellow Cantonese speaker; You fucking TRAITOR, traitor to both your own fellow Cantonese people, fellow immigrants, and also, most importantly, a traitor to democracy and the working class.

    So, as a Cantonese speaker and fellow Chinese-American immigrant, I wanna say:

    仆街食屎屙飯死蠢抵死冚家鏟 。ROFL

    I bet they’d support the pro-beijing camp if they were in HK. Bootlicker PoS.

      Yeah, you’d think that as a fellow hong konger this guy would have been a bit smarter than to vote for a open fascist.

      Just a bit to much of thinking he’s white adjacent enough I suppose.

      they are disgrace to asians for shilling ofr a rich white old fart that is part of the "white rulling " class that has f’ed over asian for decades, do they realize all those stereotypes will get reinforced more, and they wont be seen as equals to whites, or even black, or latinos. i once followed some asian tubers that started shilling for trump other rich old farts during the pandemic and more or less loss a significant amount of thier viewership, what was left was incel asians, muslims who though the same things they did, plus parasocial female fans. additionally mysogynistic attack against a former female employee which extended to all former female employees that “divorced” from the channel which kickstarted the downfall. whats funny they also were using a token african american constantly bullying him.
