That would be you. Nobody has whined, cried, or wishcasted for lower 'rates' on here more than you since you are over leveraged and can't sell your 800 sqft cuckbox condo you live in.

Complete hogwash
If you sell washing machines in the US and a tarrif hats tacked onto those washing machines of 15%, do you think the sale price should just stay the same?

That would depend on profit margin pre tariff and whether you want to maintain market share. The results tell the story, none of that Chinese cheap stuff sold on the TikTok shop went up on price.

My company just issued a price increase for next year with the only change being tarriff costs yoy. Its unavoidable on some things where domestic primary pricing is absorbing the tariff. ( see aluminum, domestic price of aluminum per lb went up by almost the exact same % as section 232 tarriff ). I dont think theres a single vendor we buy anything from now that doesnt have a tariff surcharge at the bottom of invoice now. Its certainly blown up our costs. Increase prices or sacrafice earnings are the options, the increased producer costs will find a relief valve, its not like they dont exist.
Makes me think inflation would almost be in target if not for tariffs. However tariffs should be worked out of yoy comps since its not an ongoing increase and inflation metrics just measure raye of change. so not sure how it will play out, but its there.

tariffs on top of low inflation is barely a blip but all these stupid fricking people didnt give a frick when Biden had sky high fricking inflation because of his war on energy and off the charts government spending. yes Tariffs raise prices and bring in revenue but guess what inflation will continue to come down from Biden BS under current policies

Can you tell me the difference between Trump Admin spending 7.8 Trillion and Biden Admin spending 8 Trillion? The actions of both directly gave us the massive inflation that followed. Wild, out of control, unnecessary spending from both of them. Trump started the fire and Biden poured kerosene on it. You can't inject 2 Trillion into the economy in 6 months and not have inflation follow. Its not possible. Both of them did this.

Not sure about Tik tok stuff but other items certainly have gone up because of tariffs
Clothing, shoes, electronics, jewlery, food items (ie coffee, bananas), imported building materials, imported auto parts, have all seen price increases because of tariffs.

Trump announced the section 232 (steel and aluminum) expansion from 25% to 50% on May 30, 2025.
The spot price of aluminum per lb was $1.4935 at the close of business that same day (friday). By the following Friday, 6/6 the spot price was $1.7629
It is now $2.2166 today as we type, Still increasing because we don't have alumina and bauxite mines inside the states and supply levels are near the floor. I can only describe my discussions with sales reps of domestic producers as borderline panic as we close out the year.
These numbers are the Midwestern average, the base price you pay if you're buying aluminum from a source inside the united states; has nothing to do with importing. (the global price of aluminum has moved from around 1.16 to 1.31 ytd, the domestic price has moved from 1.40 to 2.20). Importing is still cheaper comparatively, and the quality is lightyears better than what we produce, only difference is everything is more expensive than before. In my opinion, these tariffs will have actually hurt domestic producers, but the jury is out.
Believe it or not, aluminum is in a lot of things you buy. I would expect a lot of things you used to buy in cans, being packaged in plastic bags next year after the big grocers negotiate annual price contracts for instance.
(I literally just got an email from another extruder in our immediate region since I typed this email, increasing converison prices by 10%, they are so fked)

Yes we did this thread. Deodarant was an issue. We had idiots claim there is no tariffs on that
Yet the stores have it for 9 bucks up from 6
Yet amazon has a 3 pack for 18. So back to 6 bucks
So nothing has gone up cause tariffs but i guess if it double they will have a point but i dont believe it

Not seeing it in my purchases in the last few months. If there were any increase it was minuscule

And Trump's spending was on free handouts so people could sit at home and not have to work. This isn't even factoring in all the PPP 'loans' that were rife with fraud and corruption. Trump loves Socialism and so do Republicans when they are the ones benefiting from it. Trump is nothing more than a New York City Liberal who loves to spend just as much as the Dems do.
