The USA has the biggest economy in the world and it has been that way with the largest GDP since at least around 1900. It has grown every year, but there was a negative in the first part of 2020. There will be some, and have been a few setbacks recently as a result in part of all the tariff talk. Additionally, there is some concern about the proposed Big Beautiful Bill that has a built-in additional 3 trillion addition to the national debt. The world has reacted, US businesses have stopped purchasing goods, the dollar value reduced, and the US credit rating dropped. There has been an overwhelming tainted climate that nobody in business, worldwide or local, likes, and that is uncertainty. USA credit rating has been downgraded! @greenwhite.... you mentioned you live in a tourist destination. Well for sure those areas will take a hit as they will lose most overseas travelers. They are not coming to the USA. Disneyland, Vegas, and the like have and are taking hits as the world turns sour on the USA policy and rhetoric. However, as someone else stated, I am as busy as ever, or as I want to be. You might try shops you never really considered before. That is what I have done. When one door closes, I have looked behind a door I never considered before and found a new stream of revenue.
