we reduced sales volume for the year by 7% because of consumer spending in the US and because of Canadian impact due to tariffs and political situation meanwhile it’ll be harder (maybe not possible?) to get a covid-vaccine later this year? and the budget proposal is fucked if there’s not a big democratic sweep in midterms we are fucked as a country maybe the west coast can band together again like last time - definitely feeling more and more like WA should hold federal taxation and use it to fix our own shit at this point
Americans are mostly too broke for frivolous purchases. That’s what’s behind the reduced spending. When grocery prices go up but paychecks don’t, buying stuff falls. I’m not expecting a sweep in 2026. Most people aren’t engaged in politics unless they’re forced to.
there’s a massive and lengthy “yes, and” response to this but im too tired and lazy to type it out our product costs less than $3 each and we haven’t raised prices this year
