Consider This from NPR · The unexpected cost of tariffs for some small business owners · 25 Jul 2026
podcast
Amazon has agreed to pay $1 billion in civil penalties.
What I heard from Costco and Walmart, they both said their lower gas prices have people lining up actually.
when American small business owners scrambled to pay unexpected tariffs to the U.S.
government.
Their goods landed at ports from around the world, as usual, but claiming them suddenly cost tens of thousands of unbudgeted dollars.
For me personally, actually, the day that President Trump announced his big tariffs, which was called the Liberation Day, I was physically at a fly-in of small business owners organized by the National Retail Federation.
Serendipitous.
It was quite serendipitous.
And, of course, tariffs became the conversation topic.
of the afternoon, and I met a large group of retailers at that event who immediately were able to give very specific examples of how tariffs will affect their specific businesses.
And I stayed in touch with those folks, and then they put me in touch with other folks, the small business community, especially people who are kind of out there talking about their business quite openly.
It's a pretty interconnected group.
I kind of grew a long list of business owners who I text with on the regular just to check in.
And that is kind of how I stayed on top of how tariffs were playing out for real humans running businesses in the U.S.
Yeah, you're talking about Joshua Esnard.
Actually, a bit of an interesting backstory of how this happened.
As I mentioned, I was in touch with a large group of retailers, small business owners.
And at yet another fly-in, we at NPR interviewed
invited a whole bunch of them to come to the office for a roundtable, which was one of the most illuminating experiences of tariffs.
So we had, I don't know, like a dozen small business owners around the table just talking about what tariffs have been like.
