Chris explains why the rise in mom-and-pop bankruptcies and local store closures should worry everyone—no matter how strong the stock market headlines look. While big corporations and AI-driven investments dominate GDP numbers, small businesses are being crushed by rising costs, regulations, tariffs, taxes, and energy prices they simply can’t absorb.
Drawing on what bankruptcy attorneys are seeing firsthand, Chris argues this is a classic recession signal that’s being ignored by media cheerleaders and political spin. Small businesses have always been America’s job engine, and when they start failing, the broader economy follows. No matter what politicians are celebrating—from foreign policy wins to market highs—voters will stay focused on the same thing they always do: the economy.
