Well there went my shoe business. I don't understand why the tariffs have to eliminate the de minimis exemption. Why does government punish small businesses in this country knowing full well that Nike and all the big brands will be fine paying the taxes but Steffi and I get wiped out?

Big Trumpet who voted Trump to own the libs. The responses are great too

 

F********ing google led me here

 

Had to look him up. Considers himself a "minarchist," that is, an anarchist who advocates for the least amount of government possible.

So he votes for the guy who has ICE battering down doors and who pushes punitive tariffs.

I hope the leopard doesn't get sick digesting this guy's face.

 

From BlueSky, all I can say is what on Earth did you expect?

 

I didn't know Graff was in the shoe business!

Pro-Trump Green Card Holder Was Arrested by ICE After Over 30 Years in US

He was released in late April but spent 2 months in detention. I found this tidbit interesting:

As someone once said, owning the libz can be expensive.

 

Tennis shoes!

 

I did notice you sneaked one in on me....you're a sneaker!

 

Old Tennis Shoes was the blended whiskey Lee Chong sold at the Heavenly Grocery on Cannery Row... (Its manufacturer called it "Old Tennessee.".) (You could also pay for some at Wide Ida's, but what came out of the bottle may never have actually seen the Old Tennessee distillery.)

 

For that guy with the shoe business - what exactly was his business? He wasn't making shoes, I'm pretty sure about that. It sounds like he was importing from China, hence the complaint that the tariffs put him out of business, and he mentions the "de minimis exemption" which meant that he was importing things under $800 per shipment tariff-free until Trump "liberated" him from that exemption last month. But it doesn't sound like the kind of business that creates value or jobs. He's just importing small numbers of cheap shoes from China and selling them in the US at a markup. Just a middleman, taking his cut and raising prices for consumers. The inefficiency of the free market.

 

Well,where do you think the new recruits for ICE are coming from?This boy needs to put his actions in alignment with his beliefs!

Aslo in the van and generator business

 

That's good company to keep:

 

That's not what small companies do any more. Now the products are conceived, designed, engineered, and manufactured in China and the importer simply tells the factory to slap their brand on it. You just go to AliExpress or other similar web sites, find something you think will sell in America, and buy it. And "small" is relative - Raycon does $100 million in revenue following this model.

 

Owning the libs is the only reward for loyalty to Trump. Here's another one who doesn't understand that. He voted to own the libs. He even said he voted to own the libs. Well, he's getting to own the libs. It's just that he doesn't get to own jack else. He needs to let his privilege be his comfort in these tough times...

Alternate take: Give that boy a job working for someone whose income and assets prove he deserves to own a business and watch him lose that job. Behind every other "entrepreneur" is a loser who can't adjust to a regular work schedule and the presence/under the supervision of people who don't aways share his interests. Oh, and fascism don't care about his shoes

 

Well, fascism will report that boot production goals were achieved.
