Quincy  /  Small Business Owner

The American dream is becoming harder for people like me.

Story Summary:

Quincy runs a small business making health and beauty products. Over the past year, the cost of key ingredients like hemp seed oil, essential oils, and waxes has risen sharply due to supply chain issues and tariffs, cutting into profits. Despite maintaining high quality standards and competing with cheaper, lower-quality products, rising costs are forcing Quincy to raise prices, making it harder to sustain the small business and achieve the American dream.
