... and now corporate partners have raised food prices on everyone.

The removal of tariffs should allow these corporations to lower their prices but they won't ... because those prices have now been normalized and will never go down. The corporations will take the savings and keep prices high.

That was the reason for the original tariffs ... that was the reason for removing them.

They gave corporations tax breaks to save them money ... then gave them an excuse to raise prices and funnel even more money into their pockets.

They're Making American Great Again ... for a very small group of really wealthy Americans

Sawing off the branch their prosperity is built on. Hoping, perhaps not incorrectly, that they'll be dead before we all hit the fucking ground.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 14 points 2 months ago

Also, don't forget that IF the courts deem all these tariffs void and they have to be paid back, guess who gets the payments.

Hint, not us.

[–] JeSuisUnHombre@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

Now that tariffs are removed we get the opportunity to implement new tariffs that will raise prices even more

Sounds like the system is working as intended. In America, money votes!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 months ago

Money has more rights than people

It's a Plutocracy .... a government run by the wealthy or those with money

rather than

A Democracy ... a government run by the people

I believe they're trying to put The Onion out of business.

[–] Pistcow@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

I feel like the Onion should sue due to impact of their business.

Also, don’t forget to thank your lover for not beating you anymore.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

More like beating you slightly less.

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 19 points 2 months ago

"I've decided to stop beating you. Now thank me". Whew. You know those evangelicals are gonna eat this shit up though because that whole concept is their core belief.

Create the problem and take credit for undoing it. This is all Trump has ever done.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 2 months ago

That's not true, he's also taken credit for things other people have done.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Guaranteed companies don't lower prices lol. Then they can blame Mexicans some more!

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 8 points 2 months ago

So he put tariffs on importing a bunch of staple crops that America doesn’t produce?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago

We're all trying to find the guy responsible for these tariffs...

Team Trump took the US trade deficit with each country, divided it by our exports, and called that a "tariff" being imposed by the trading partner. They then imposed "reciprocal tariffs" of 50% of that trade deficit, with a minimum of 10%. It is shockingly stupid from a regime known for shocking levels of stupidity.

[–] ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Step 1: Think of some numbers.

Step 2: ...

Step 3: Global economic supremacy.

...apparently.

[–] switcheroo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

And the MAGAt moron brigade cheers like mad...as if the Pedo-in-Chief isn't the one who set those tariffs in the first place. Dumbasses. I'm amazed they can even breath without conscious thought.

[–] WhatsHerBucket@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

For realz this time

[–] AngularViscosity@piefed.social 5 points 2 months ago

reciprocal

Gee, I wonder what got them there.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Thank goodness for Trump to relieve us of the tariffs that he put on us…

Were those part of the national security tariffs?

[–] MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 3 points 2 months ago

If the administration wasn't pure fucking evil, I'd admire the audicity of taking credit for undoing the terrible policy they enacted months ago.
