“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration.

So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives.

So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed

Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

This is more important than you realize. Bluesky doesn’t downgrade links. Which means news sites will get more traffic from here than other sites.

Which gives them economic reasons to post here first.

Are these tariffs a serious proposal, or just a negotiating tactic? I hope it's the latter. But the reality is that even the discussion of them has negative consequences for American wineries. Their implementation would usher in a new era with much greater and more unpredictable dangers. 11 & end 🧵/

I've been reading some hot takes that 200% tariffs on European wines would benefit domestic wineries. I think that's dangerously wrong. We all rely on the same federally mandated distribution system that tariffs at this level would devastate. A quick 🧵 1/ tablascreek.typepad.com/tablas/2025/...

A producer like #TablasCreek cannot sell directly to restaurants and retailers in most states. So, our success is dependent upon distributors. Many of our distributors get the majority of their business from European wines. For those distributors, the proposed tariffs amount to a death sentence. 2/

Could American wines fill in the gap? Not for years. American wine production is currently ~300 million cases. Consumption of wine in the USA is ~375 million cases. It takes roughly five years for new plantings to produce grapes, be fermented and bottled, and eventually reach the market. 3/

The American wine ecosystem is already under record strain, with layoffs at the country's two largest distributors. If a major producer or distributor should declare bankruptcy the cascade of impacts on their suppliers and customers would almost certainly cause other failures. 4/

If European wine is targeted in a new round of tariffs, it's very likely that American wine will be on the list of reciprocal targets. Last year at #TablasCreek we invested over $42,000 to grow our sales in our export markets, and saw significant growth. Prospects for 2025? Looking shaky. 5/

Would tariffs hurt European producers? Absolutely. But because of the channels that alcohol must follow, Americans would be hurt more. The US Wine Trade Alliance has calculated that for every $1.00 in damage tariffs would inflict on the EU, they cause $4.52 in losses to American businesses. 6/

Would there be a larger piece of the pie here for California wineries? Not much of one, I don't think. Last time, we saw a period where restaurants and retailers scavenged inventory from warehouses around the country, and then sales dropped sharply as buyers waited in hope tariffs were rescinded. 7/
