Has anyone else noticed this? In our area, it seems in 2025 a lot of local businesses (ie local toy stores, etc) have closed. Presumably tariff pressures hurt (among other affordability issues).

The big players can restructure supply chains. Small businesses can't. The mom and pops seem to suffer.

I'm hoping there can be an infusion of $ into those companies and maybe stimulate a little growth, or at least survival through the Trump years.

This is by design. No doubt the large corporations who kissed the ring and gave gold statues will be the first to receive this money.
