The Director of International Affairs of the USD Eileen Daspro said that ABC 10news companies should decide to undergo the loss or that there is another avenue.

There is also a wonder of what it means for small businesses that serve customers.
Kevin Rhodes is the owner of Lime in the Coconut on the third avenue de Chula Vista.
“We are already in a difficult environment,” said Rhodes.
He told ABC 10news that they obtained a lot of products and products that come from Mexico.
“So, for this to increase by 25%, I have to decide that I make new menus very quickly and increase prices or do I simply take the blow on the chin and that hope for the best?” Said Rhodes.
After having bounced price increases after the pandemic and the cost of living being as high as that, there is concern about what the future has in store for us.
