Had first one today on FB. You are blaming Trump and the voters for a tariff cost before

[LizBeth]

he has even gotten into office? There was a FB post showing a bill where the business had a line Tariff and the cost added into the bill. This poster was flabbergasted people were blaming Trump and the voters for that price because Trump has not even gotten into office yet. I replied, you blamed Biden for the price of eggs and that had nothing to do with Biden but corporate greed. And so it begins.

1. Exactly. The threat of tariffs has thrown many

businesses into chaos as they attempt to adjust to what's coming, whether it's rushing to import materials or suspending bonuses because of the up-front costs.

2. The funny thing is

corporations have carte blanche now to raise prices, rake in the dough, and blame tariffs. But they wouldn’t do that, would they?

9. As long as they print it on the reciept in bigass numbers for all to see,

I kinda won't care. If pain is the only way these idiots are gonna learn, then bring on the leopards.

3. Biden is president still, but Trump has advertised what his policies are and people are reacting accordingly.

Trumpies aren't really good at following along.

4. Of course.

I’m looking at grabbing a few pairs of my favorite running shoes. And maybe even replacing my phone.

I have a sneaking suspicion corporations are going to use tariffs and the threat of tariffs to raise prices dramatically no matter what actually happens. It’s a golden opportunity to rake in fortunes while blaming outside influences. Why would they pass that up?

5. I bought a new PC last weekend. I planned to wait another year, but figured I'd regret higher prices. nt

13. And the Biden economy will get credit for your purchase!

14. I bought a new phone on Saturday.

I wouldn't have done it now if not for the Dump's looming tariffs. My old phone was fine but it was going on 6 years old.

16. Retailers are going to have a great Xmas.

Followed by a bad year.

17. I had to buy washer dryer, refrig for new place. Did it last week.... Bought my stuff.

I can run the four yrs not needing much

6. Trump imposed a lot of tariffs in his first term, most still exist.

7. I'm old enough to remember

I'm old enough to remember a Republican Party that was all in on free trade.

What a time to be alive, a GOP who doesn't believe in free trade, but wants trade wars instead.

8. Whatever casts aspersions upon the Orange Menace, I, for one, welcome.

They are way overdue.

I am not playing good guy vs. poo poo king anymore. We lost the three branches because of their lies.

10. Fuck them

If/when he does do it, those same idiots will be saying "WELL YOU HURT HIS FEELINGS SO YOU'RE GETTING WHAT YOU DESERVED!"

11. Companies make decisions in anticipation of future policy

so some companies are buying up excess parts and materials from foreign suppliers ahead of tariffs. Some are planning how to adjust their pricing strategy. China has already started restrictions on some metals exports to the US to screw with our electronics industry. This is in anticipation of Trump's trade policy.

12. The price of eggs also had to do with the culling of birds due to bird flu.

15. The better response to the FB fool...

Is to explain that collecting more money in anticipation of the looming tariffs is not a political statement. It is a rational reaction to make sure the business has enough cash to cover an anticipated increase in its cost of goods. It is not politics; it is just good cash flow management.

This is the very reason why tariffs are a root cause of inflation

18. How many times did you explain tariffs 101 prior to the election? I did so many times and the fools

had no interest in being educated. You do you.
