“The economy” can surely affect businesses, no doubt. There are so many other factors that cause businesses to fail. Stiff competition, consumer habits, failure to diversify….etc. Brick and mortar stores closing because consumers buy online. Competition undercuts operating costs and steals business. One more thing, and it affects a lot of businesses, is pure mismanagement. To simply blame Trump for business being down is preposterous.

Not sure if this is a "gotcha moment"... yeah I think they return right back over and pickup where they left off. Maybe not all but many I believe are.

Not particularly on subject, this economy has went to trash in 2025.. well at least in our field of work. Been in business for years and our competitors and all are feeling it, slowest we've been since starting... 

Under biden the markets meant nothing and not a factor on everyday living according to the other side, now thats all we hear about... prices are up and ppl are feeling it.. 

Boyz, if I may ask, what field of work are you in?

Looks like your confusing your stories........

5 hours ago it is now 7.00 which is ridiculous

3 hours ago it is $11.00 now It WAS 7.00

At this rate it is going to be $30 by nightfall......lol

 

I said 7 dollars because that is how much I last paid for it. I looked on the Walmart app and now it is 11.00
