@Prison1203 The tariffs you are talking about. What else? Maybe you should look up the word "tariff" in the dictionairy. And since it's a tax on consumption, people will be paying it. But give it a little bit, if someone makes an important descision in the economy, it will ripple through the entire model over time. And when things become really clear, we can come back to your post and have a good laugh at your expense.

@Kwek00 maybe you should look it up because your description is wrong , the companies that are receiving goods from overseas pay the tariff, not the consumer, nice try though

@Prison1203 So now the company has an extra cost... what do companies do with extra costs? They'll make the consumers of their products pay for it, by highering the prices of their end product.

That's from 1 day ago. PepsiCO also announced they were going to higher the prices because of tariffs. From the same article:


Wallmart already wanted to raise the prices... which is all really normal, knowing that Wallmart has kept up the underclass of the US with cheap import goods. It's the only way how you can underpay your workers, and still guarantee some quality of life. But those days are over now, so Trump had to urge Wallmart to "eat the tariffs" in march 2025. As if Wallmart is some kind of social service, that delivers goods at the same price because the governement says so. Sadly for Donald, Wallmart has a profit model.

Which is all pretty normal for anyone not hooked on the ministry of TruthSocial. But again, in a few months where there is more empircal data on an administration that is 7 months old, I'll try to come back to you and have a good laugh at your expense. Because anyone that thinks about this for 2 minutes, would figure it out, but you aren't able too and you are still smug while being wrong.

But at least you agree with my original statement:

Me:


You:


Me:


You:


1. It's a tax, that companies/consumers are paying
2. It's a tax that was implemented by this administration
3. You are cheering for the republican candidate
4. You are really happy about it.

🤷‍♂

Nice try though.

@specman Yeah... imagine a neighbouring country or allied countries having an opinion about their ally/neighbour. How rude of them to even think about a superpower that influences all of the countries in it's sphere of influence.

The only people with TDS, are people that use the TDS excuse to cover up for their deficiency of tackling any of the issues that people adress about this administration. It's the laziest and easy way out for the most ignorant amongst us.

@Kwek00 my comment stood stands
Cheers

@specman Yeah, it stands alrights... Just like that fence that is standing in the field and I piss over every week.

@ron122 now, now...don't go using facts to trample on his lying narrative

@sunsporter1649 MAGA's dilemma

@sunsporter1649 where are you that you see $2.97 per gallon, it is $2.87 here, up $0.14 from April. Increasing the tax by a few dollars will not touch their ability to do whatever they want, but taking away SNAP, Medicaid, and so much more that helps those in need is the humane thing to do. MAGA seems to love to swell the debt, and who will pay for that? When you go to the supermarket and pay more for nearly everything, do you praise MAGA? Don't bother with your inane cartoons. They do not impress anyone here.

@sunsporter1649 This is in the White House?
