Not every small business is a lemonade stand. I bet plenty of them resell or install equipment that is manufactured overseas. For example, I recently got a quote for solar panels and batteries and the price went up just in a few day period due to tariffs. Even with everyone in the chain absorbing some of the cost, there was $1,800 left over for me to eat. The vendor seemed stressed about the situation. Were they fearmongering?

Even a lemonade stand where do you think they get their lemons? Their water pitcher? Their cups? Their freezer for making ice cubes? Most likely outside the US or from bigger US companies with supply chains reaching outside the US.
