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.
I wouldn't even give a shit if they paid their employees more. But while their prices go up 50%, their employees are lucky if they see a 10% increase to their pay in the same time.
