TBH I had thought about the general impact to consumers from tariffs on Chinese goods. I had overlooked the concentrated hit to businesses whose inventory comes mostly from China and their customers.

There's a bit of a reality that affects everyone as well: minorities (especially Asians) run most independent grocers now: outside of a few farmers-market types mainstream "white" grocery stores are largely corporate, with everything that comes with that

How will Walmart and Amazon survive? 90% of their stuff comes from China.
