Future dollar damage is already baked into the cake, but treating trade deficits with tariffs can mitigate the damage.

There's been such a lack of clarity on tariff rates that companies were going to wait for smoother waters before executing their pricing strategies to counteract them.

I posted another OP about this almost a month ago because I do shop there on occasion for laundry and kitchen cleaning during Covid they went from the dollar to $1.25 which was a 25% increase and my last trip may raise everything to $1.50 so they have had a 50% increase in prices and that is not in compliance with actual tears so they were using Covid and other reasons to raise their prices and perhaps the model is failing

Your house doesn’t run the only printing press your grocery store actually prefers to be paid with.

Price gouging. Please explain to all of us how products grown in the US are somehow causing 30% spikes in pricing.
You don't read so well, huh?

Dollar General ain't that good a deal anyway. You go to them because there's one every 500 feet so you save time.

I disagree. Let's say a hurricane is coming and you own a Truckstop. The right thing to do would be to sell your gas at normal price and continue business at normal margins. An opportunistic a-hole might jack said gas prices up on people to profit on panic and fear...

An enterprising person would buy it from me and sell at a higher rate if the supply and demand can support it. Another issue is hoarders.

...Campbell's? Like...the soup people? What on earth do they need to get from other countries?

What a shame. I like shopping at Dollar General because some of their stuff is cheaper than Walmart. I also don't have to wait in very long to check out. In and Out. Walmart is always at least 25 minutes.

Campbell's is playing with fire. I like me a can of chunky soup, but the price is barely there for me anymore. If it goes up anymore, I don't know that it'll be something I stock up on.

Everytime i read these crying arse bitches talk about raising prices because tariffs, you notice they never once stop and consider what it means that we dont have enough Tin here in the US to package our own food to feed our own people?
And tariffs are what you think is the problem? It sounds like we need higher tariffs until this jackass decides its worth it to make it here.
