Hearing more and more stories about companies cutting bonuses this year so they can buy more supplies now at cheaper prices. They know the prices will go up and they'll have to pass the increase to the consumers. But how much you wanna bet these companies will still raise prices even before they have to pay their tariff increases? They're gonna get extra money on the supplies they paid the lower prices on.
...This is just normal basic business economics.
Your retail price is not predicated on what you paid to produce or obtain the product, it's based on what you expect to have to pay to produce or procure the next one.
I figured everyone already knew this. Tariffs just screw consumers.
Welp,time to trade my cheaply made Chinese shit to expensively made cheap american shit.
Mango Mussolini's tariff plans will increase prices across the board. The corporations earned record profits during the so-called inflation and the US consumers that voted for Cheeto are fucking clueless about the inbound out of control freight train.
Oh well don't worry the out of control freight trains mostly poison trump voters in ohio and the water supply of all the red states.
No shit.
I was promised cheaper eggs.
Yes, this is not news. News is supposed to be new information, this is entirely well known information, which stupid people just didn't care about
