That just leaves the door open for immigrant Vadim, who works his wife, son, and two daughters at Vadim's Hardware, and pushes Tim into bankruptcy and his employees into the unemployment line.
Vadim not only has lower employee overhead (he pays his family in room and board) but buys cheap, crappy products from his cousin Khadim back in India, products that are cheaper than what you find at Home Hardware or Rona because they are poor quality, but good enough for the uninformed buyer. Thirty years from now, "Vadim's" is a brand on par with Walmart, and you cna no longer buy a decent bandsaw unless you go to a specialty import shop that sells outrageiously expensive German machines.
In short: Taking our jerbs! Our jeeeeeeeerrrrrrrbbbbbs!
