A millennial business owner who credits TikTok with $700,000 in sales in 2022 is afraid he'll lose it all if the US bans the app: 'Our representatives have no problem throwing all of our lives away'

After seeing his TikTok follower count rise to over 15,000 in just three weeks, he decided to set up photography lights, two tables in his kitchen, and try live selling, which he started in May of 2021.

"From 1 p.m. until midnight or later sometimes, we would stay up laughing, talking, selling, and educating our customers on stones of all types," he said."This has been our dream for a long time, to own a business we have passion in, and to make people happy." Before going forward with a ban, Lucas say he hopes members of Congress realize how important TikTok is to so many people.

"Our representatives have no problem throwing all of our lives away," he said."I don't feel represented, and neither does anyone in our community, especially those whose livelihood is on the line.
