Those glancing at your paragraph might well get the impression that this continues, thereby not impacting smaller value purchases (even if foreign--Chinese origin).

This will be a killer for Walmart, Amazon, and many others. I have mixed feelings, but the fact that it WILL impact food that cannot be grown/produced here does concern and should concern all of us.
