The Trump administration’s volley of tariffs has U.S. companies scrambling for ways to absorb — and if possible avoid — the added business costs.
Some enterprises, from small businesses to nationally recognized brands, have already announced higher prices, citing Trump’s tariffs. While others, from footwear companies to furniture brands, are warning consumers to brace for increased costs to come.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told CNBC Thursday that he expects the tariffs to lead to higher prices on a host of consumers goods, noting that the site’s third-party sellers are likely to pass on tariff-related costs.
To the surprise of no one.
Of the supposed 2 billion dollars Trump said they made in the last week, every single cent was paid by US importers, companies, and citizens.
The tariffs made nothing. They cost 2 billion.
I like this! Don’t hide the cost. Make it painfully clear to even an idiot why the costs are so high.
clear to even an idiot
Sorry, republicans still won’t be able to figure it out.
Still worth a try anyway.
I don’t know if it was the intent of the thumbnail, but put the tariff on the receipt. Let people know who pays for it.
Big agree. The tariffs aren’t for the benefit of the public. It’s hard to know how obviously it needs to be laid out before some people will understand that the overlords aren’t the benevolent saviors they claim to be.
I know some of the tariffs have gone into effect but can any product sold today possibly have been imported in the last couple of days? Sounds like they are getting a premature jump on the upcharges.
