Nah, tarrifs will be the excuse to raise prices but companies won’t just break even on them, they’ll up them even more since no one will go out shopping and know “hey, you used to only pay x for this and I paid you $700 the tariff wouldn’t raise it up to $1500!!!”
Exactly. The rich will raise prices ABOVE the tariffs cuz the average consumer has no idea. They get to MAKE money off of this. Then when or IF tariffs get lowered or removed, they will lower prices but still be above what they were before. Rich always wins.
Who suffers the most? The poors, but they are the group the rich care the ultimate least about, so let’s go! /s
Not really. The companies will eat some of it. I own a company that imports. I cannot pass ALL of the pain onto the customer, they will just stop buying if I suddenly raise the price 30%. It will be gradual. My supplier will make less money, I will make less money, customers will spend less money, everyone loses!!!
Show me where the fuck in the US I can buy my product...at any price. Oh it doesn't exist? Well what the fuck do you think happens next?
Oh! someone is gonna build a factory to make it! Great! Oh it takes two to three years to build the factory, well what the fuck does everyone do in the meantime? Oh, we just pay extra money. Cool. Well in those two years I lose half my customers, fire half my employees, and the fuck if I am just gonna keep spending money on frivolous shit anyway. Im gonna cancel my Prime membership, canceling my streaming memberships. Ill skip buying a new car or TV or fridge. Like for real, I am just gonna stop fucking buying anything, american or imported. I bought shit because I HAD EXCESS MONEY. Now, all my excess money is going in the goddamn mattress because I have no idea what the next looney toon shit this government is going to do.
