    As a small business owner I will likely have to completely shut down if/when tariffs are imposed, so yeah, this isn’t about paying more for a video game for many of us.

      I’m still waiting for the wall to be built with Mexican money. Just because Trump says he’s going to do something doesn’t mean he actually will. I don’t care what liars say, I care what they do.

        He did it before and he’ll do it again. The last round of tariffs was backbreaking and this one will be worse.

        I work for a small business and we’re still doing okay but all those tariffs get passed directly to consumers. If it costs 7.5% more to import something, it will get sold for 7.5% more.

        And that is the low end of tariffs.
