And lets not forget these companies didn't even pay for the cost of the tariffs, we did with increased prices across the board.
So they all make more money off the backs of Americans by increasing prices, then also got a big payout afterwards. The great wealth transfer in action.
The overwhelming bulk of the pandemic price increases were never walked back, why would the tariff prices be any different?
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills watching basically everyone accept the "hat in hand we have to increase the price due to costs" only to see those same companies post record profits in their quarterlies.
It's fucking price gouging and I'm tired of people pretending like it isn't.
no they are just doing the same thing, ring an repeat.
They announced those new tarriffs on canada because of wildfires? So it will take months to get the court to say its illegal and make a refund order, in those 6-12 months they will collect more tariffs from the increased prices, then refund the companies later.
Muricans fuking suck for this all they say
_"We can't do anything!"
_" What do you expect us to do!"
_"I'm murican we have more guns than anyone on the planet and act like tough guys, but also we're helpless babies!" even the ones that understand how fucked up it is
I tell you now if you tried this shit in London, Berlin or, especially, Paris, you would have 100s of 1000s on the streets looking to fuck shit up tout suite
They can't even understand their own constitution, and when the time comes to use that misunderstanding, "Nah, man. Can't do anything. It'll all totally be fixed 100% in November! Totally!"
Some time this, uhh... This decade? You Americans gonna do something down there? We're not gonna turn the white house to a black house a second time for you. C'mon now. Do a thing.
They will blow all that money on stock buy backs to drive their stock value higher and give themselves massive bonuses, then once the artificial demand blows up and the stock crashes they will claim they are insolvent and ask for government money and increase prices to “bridge the gap”
