Comment on [Gamers Nexus] Death of affordable computing | Tariffs impact and investigation
lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoEverything about this seems almost designed to murder small businesses.
Those with enough capital backing, resources and funds can take the hit, maybe cut some expenses, shedding crocodile tears about how terrible the economic impact of this trade war has affected them while dispassionately watching scores of no-longer-employees pack their things and try to figure out how to tell their kids that the promised trip next month they’d been looking forward to all year is cancelled.

Kind of splitting hairs, but a company that can let go of “scores” of employees and still exist is not a small business.

That was my point, actually, expanding on the previous point of the policy being designed to kill small businesses. The big corps can do that, pretending to be ever so regretful about the firings, while small ones face insolvency.
