2016 Postmortem

I too am protecting employees. And if history tells me anything, this administration is going to have a direct impact on my business and my employees. My business barely made it through the last recession.

I pay taxes - city, state AND federal. Unlike our president-elect. And buying local and keeping money in my community has been a top priority of my business model for almost two decades. With the advent of online sourcing, I've specifically chosen to source locally even though it affects my profit margin.

Trump, and everything he stands for, goes way beyond politics as usual. He, and the administration he's installing, is going to be an actual threat to MY livelihood, MY freedoms and rights, and those of my employees, friends and family members. If it comes down to me against you (proverbially speaking), I'm sure as heck gonna do whatever I can to make sure I come out on top. And that starts with local businesses owned and operated by trump supporters. I'm sure there will be plenty of customers to take my place, but for me, the principle of the matter, and protecting my interests and by proxy the interests of my employees and friends and family, is priority number one right now.
