Who is this babe telling a small business gal that she can buy locally when some company will want to build a company and down the road she will. E so happy making huge amounts of money?
Walmart did that to rural small town businesses Pharmacies Tire Shops small appliance electronics stores Garden Nurserys Toy & Bike shops etc had huge local sales deals then once competition small town grocery & stores went out of business hiked prices and sales/deals to be at Corporate pricing ...
I think back on all the people who use the phrase “market disruptor“ as if it were a Uniformly Good Thing. I’ve always felt that businesses rely more on predictability than disruption. I am old enough to remember when a cargo ship getting stuck in a canal was a very bad market disruption.
Well done Sidney! Thanks so much! The only line I would add is the one that I am sickened by every time Levittt says it “trust Trump”
Makes me want to puke
Hard to grasp how any business person who knows a,
so called Politician, has bankrupted businesses multiple times would endorse or vote for to run the Country.That is how corrupted the system is. Add in civil sexual assault conviction, 34 counts of Felony Conviction's.Citizens were conned.☮️
Brilliant! 77m Americans wanted a ‘businessman’ as president. They voted for someone who either doesn’t really know about ‘business’ or doesn’t actually care about business people.
Odd choice y’all.
Speculation that violence WILL BE instigated by Proud Boys et al
as an excuse to declare martial law (April 20, 90 days in and in accordance with Project 2025, from what I've been told).
What sucks even MORE than having voted for the dementia-ridden convicted felon, are the hundreds of thousands of dollars these small business owners actually DONATED to this asshole only to have him slit their throats.
🤩😄😄😄
Next video: have 4 people in the conversation.
Please add these 2:
- the new supplier you found in an unfortunately still too high tariff zone.
- the new middle man living in a country with low tariff zone, or a Russian.
Trump: only 2 pronouns in business! "we" as in I and my billionaire friends and "weeee" as in all the rest (without insider trading info..)
There, who says tariffs don't work for "we"?
That includes things like the plastic bags that frozen broccoli and peas come in, the majority of plastic containers that we use for everything come from China.
Even the 3 tin can manufacturers left in the US have tariffs on them.
Another place where my peace is challenged is with the brokers that can immediately pass the tax on with very little risk. So relationships of trust are strained too.
For me it is jars and caps!
Hang in there!
And counter to the narrative, the Chinese glass is better than American and Chilean glass. I've used it all since I'm not big enough to decide where the vendor sources from (like most small businesses).
True. Better pallets too. I actually have to contract my glass to come in bulk packaging. As far as I know I am the only (very small) manufacturer in the US that still uses the jar. Safeway was the old big buyer.
I was quoting the video, with irony. The person playing the g’ment in the video says “Sucks to suck”. That’s the attitude of our government towards people whose lives are being hurt. It’s not my attitude. I know perfectly well that no one is safe, and I’m spending all my energy trying to fix it.
The depth of dishonor, failure & cruelty of current POTUS, VP & minions has no bottom. A stain on the honor of their families, their party, their communities and our nation. A convicted felon with a lifetime record of dishonor, bankruptcies and failed relationships is ruling #ProtectTheConstitution
We need fewer timelines in which red blouse survives, and more timelines in which plaid shirt doesn't pay the tax bill and builds a guillotine instead.
Because they've never heard him say those things. It's maddening, but they just... don't believe the clips of Trump are really him, or that he meant them, or anything like that.
They believe that he really thinks what they think but he's... better at it, I guess?
The MAGAts at that rally heard him say those words. But, to your point, they ignored them or laughed them off. It must be exhausting for one to believe that the other side is always conspiring against you. That's what the despot has always believed & it's what he taught his cult to believe.
Not just monsters, extremely stupid monsters with tiny, fragile little egos and crippling phobias of death. They're Nobel Laureate syndrome given sentient human form (though really that's every loser douchebag in Silicon Valley that has flirted with EA).
Honestly, you can make just about any system work if you know what you're doing. Capitalism, communism, etc even having a libertarian or socialist society. We try and impose things fly by wire without any true understanding of the world we live in.
That being said, they have no idea wtf they're doing so you can expect catastrophe. Probably just going to further transfer wealth to monopolistic corporations (probably why they fund his campaigns) by eliminating potential competition
It's catastrophic now, Asian markets and the EU selling off US treasury bonds has already hit the American economy with a death blow that only a very tiny fractions of Americans know has been struck. We're already no longer the financial center of the world and our economy is going to 100% collapse.
That's why Kamala Harris should have won and not allow the snake to rig things. Trump's mind must be constantly moving to think up schemes and corruption. Kamela could have governed. Trump just plays at it with kiss the ring.
You can get the thing you need from one of the 75 countries that want a trade deal with us, but we won’t tell you which 75 countries those are, so good luck.
Fox News is failing to get a straight answer out of the Sewer Clowns regarding these “75 countries” who are alleged to be falling all the fuck over each other in a mad dash to cut new trade deals with the US.
Hassett: “yeah well, I’m not going to name the countries yet.”
Its so for my daughter to decide a college major. Where will the jobs be? What will be needed. I am a teacher and she knows that the last profession to go into, she's seen our financial struggle and time commitment and soul ties. Where will we be in 4 years??
That part of it is no different than it’s ever been. No one knows when committing to a major whether there will be jobs in that discipline when they graduate. It has ever been thus.
Both my kids are going to community college this fall (my daughter took a gap year) and I told both of them to take what they want. During their life they will more than likely change their careers several times. My daughter is going for art because that is her passion. My son for computer science.
Please tweet this to Trump. But I don't have high hopes that he would understand it. The man thinks grocery is a beautiful word.
I am sure he will hold onto his presidency till it is 2025 and continue claiming that his tariffs made America great again.
He would focus entirely on whether the woman was sufficiently hot to be his type. If she is, he has a place for her. If she's not, she doesn't deserve to survive.
being in purchasing in 2025 is so fun, it's like ahh, we can afford to buy it now, but when it gets here it might bankrupt us, but if we don't buy cash flow dries up, what funs we don't even know what price the price will actually be it's so exciting and I didn't make a rant about how dumb it all is
I used to work for Apple repairing devices....you can hardly see those screws, you feel them and put them into place. It takes a lot of practice and patience.
Truth.
Now throw in substantial decreases in insurance reimbursement to healthcare personnel without recourse due to contracts, and you've added about 30% more onto your costs.
To be clear, that used to be my main issue. Now my main issue is trying to help keep my country from imploding.
man, a certain someone's sacrificial crime wasn't good enough to bring light to the class imbalance, now the gov is making it even more obvious by acting like everyone's rich lmfao lol
I think that they simply do not care about anybody that isnt...they know that we will always be here and to survive most Americans need them and they can always profit from us...
This exactly. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. My business manufactures here, but one of our packages is ONLY made in china as far as we know. We may have to stop manufacturing this product.
Yes, I've seen a few of her posts now and I think she's invented a new genre where it seems like parody, but then you realize it's straight up unfiltered reality.
Elon and Trump took all the other kids' marshmallows and grinned with chewed-up marshmallow goo deliberately covering their teeth. Then declared the researchers dead, confiscated their Social Security, black-bagged them to CECOT (because the science made them "anxious") and pocketed the kickback.
It's a garbage "test" anyways because, as one of many factors it doesn't take into account, both "deciding to take the first marshmallow" and "growing up to be less successful" have a far more causal link in "living in poverty that makes it hard for authority figures to keep promises about food."
not to mention, the last time someone put my group through a similar kind of test (but far worse), I knew what they were doing and I spoiled it on purpose
and that's the dystopian reality we're in now 😩
As an indie author though, rather than raise the retail price of my books, I've been lowering the discount I give to distributors like amazon, BN. TBH I'd like to eliminate that middleman altogether and sell direct.
I'm reminded of a video I saw recently. Small business owner ordered 30k of cloth from China, and it's currently being shipped over. This tariff is going to destroy her business. Here's another:
Negation of women's rights, elimination of abortion, crushing smaller farm owners to gain control of arable land and all food systems, trying to control all potable water, leading to overpopulation of impoverished people. It's the setup for hunger games and soylent green.
I’m a clothing manufacturer in Canada, 90% of my customers are in the States. The fabric comes from China. Now the States manufacturers (also buying from China) are less competitive than me for their own market because of these tariffs. Let that sink in!
Every change,
every cut I make,

my contractors
my vendors
➡️ WHY
I LEAD WITH:
Because trump & GOP
❌ devalued US$
❌ sent int rates ⬆️
❌ destroyed 10% of DJIA
❌ sent CPI forecast ⬆️
❌ sent consumer conf to lowest since 1963
Help a Family Rebuild After Tragedy
I lost my wife
and my home and job were destroyed. My children, Samir, Amir, and Tia, never met their mother, and we’re struggling to survive. Any help to rebuild our lives and provide for their future would mean the world. Thank you for your kindness 😔
Most MAGA business owners I see are saying something like 'Well, I still support him, even though I'll lose my business as a result of this. I mean, I wish he wasn't doing it, and I hope he changes his mind, but yeah, I still think he's got the country on the right path'
Yep! So many (of us) are dead in the water with this shite!
I can be frantic, or I can be positive and come up with a plan B- C for...What? lol
How can I plan my business's Trajectory, and shove in some "what If" options if the 'Regime' can still only offer fucking "concepts" of their plans?
I am a small business owner who has outgrown our current location. We found a larger location to double production and have a larger store. AND, getting ready to tell our current landlord we are NOT moving into that location. Why....everything in this video.
the acting is great
the condescending energy of the entitled person doing everything to make your feel the urge to punch them but not be able is on point
Small business owner here. I'm going to be as concise as possible: Trump has probably destroyed my business. I was getting customers up to about one month ago, and it has almost completely stopped.
I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm fine for now - I prepared for this. But this is my reality.
Y’know, my biz is music and guitar instruction. Guess what happens when her customers support her biz but don’t have anything left to do other things. Neither party has anything left for fun things like hiring music for a party, or getting lessons for their kids. My biz is doomed.
Plus the marshmallow test was debunked anyway; the kids who ate the marshmallow immediately were lower income, used to food scarcity. Of course the rich kids did better overall; generational wealth tends to do that.
Also probably used to grownups making fake promises, or promising but the money runs out so they can't.
So in their eyes it may have been "Marshmallow now. I don't know if I can trust this stranger to be both willing and able to follow through (especially without stringing me along for way longer)."
It supposedly tested kids’ ability to delay gratification – they had the option to take one marshmallow immediately or wait to get two instead in a specified timeframe.
The problem is kids from deprived backgrounds did worse, largely because if you’re living precariously and have learned not to rely on what might be promised to you later, it’s entirely rational to take the first marshmallow while you can – it’s not a character flaw or a sign of limited potential.

Though unfortunately, the carrots were too much work, so we all just get the stick.
I'm sure you will figure something out and in years you will thank us.
Great videos, you truly capture what's happening, how funny our sad country looks to the rest of the world.

Well done.
Clearly explained.
Please share this widely.

There, I corrected it.
Like they actually listen to small businesses. Them are for lip service during the election propaganda speeches.

My bottle vendor said of pricing increases, "probably where we were during the pandemic - as a starting point".
For me it is jars and caps!
Hang in there!

He told his supporters to their faces that he doesn't care about them. Why would anyone believe that he cares about anyone?
They believe that he really thinks what they think but he's... better at it, I guess?

Particularly nursing and other health care programs.
And becoming a licensed massage therapist.
I am sure he will hold onto his presidency till it is 2025 and continue claiming that his tariffs made America great again.
Clearly illustrates the idiocy of it.
This will make other countries want to build a factory here 🥴 and you’re just supposed to twist in the wind in the meantime.
—tough it out to feed your children till then.
Real business savvy, American values. NOT
Now throw in substantial decreases in insurance reimbursement to healthcare personnel without recourse due to contracts, and you've added about 30% more onto your costs.
To be clear, that used to be my main issue. Now my main issue is trying to help keep my country from imploding.
I think that they simply do not care about anybody that isnt...they know that we will always be here and to survive most Americans need them and they can always profit from us...
They WANT a larger gap. No middle class.
Sooo...guillotines or firing squads?
There's no racism or sexual assault.

Throw crazy government policies into the mix, and it’s a death sentence.
I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm fine for now - I prepared for this. But this is my reality.
Oh wait, it’ll only work with out labor costs if the factory is 90% automated so it actually won’t create many jobs. Sorry about that.
So in their eyes it may have been "Marshmallow now. I don't know if I can trust this stranger to be both willing and able to follow through (especially without stringing me along for way longer)."
