I was just talking to a couple friends of mine, about this, yesterday. They run a medium-sized manufacturing business that has almost all their work done overseas.<p>Another friend of mine was just laid off, as a transportation broker, directly because of the tariffs.<p>The tariffs have the potential to drive tens of thousands of small- and medium businesses into bankruptcy, overnight.<p>I feel as if this was not well thought-out. Maybe megacorps, like Tesla, can weather it, but many smaller businesses have no buffer.<p>That said, the manufacturing imbalance and trade imbalance is a very real problem that needs to be solved. I just feel as if we are approaching it in a manner that is simplistic, and favors only very large corporations.
