He was in retail but in upper management.

Yeah she was able to borrow against her pension interest free, and can pay it back with the back pay. The shut down wasn't that bad for her at least.

Yeah, get ready for Autozone, Advance, and O’Reilly to be the only retailers in the black.

No, you guys are all wrong. Things are great.

Just look at the upwards trend in this chart posted today by the Treasury:

I still vividly remember back in January how @Kz! and @lynched1 swore up and down that tariffs were not only not inflationary, they would drive prices down because American manufacturers would WILLINGLY lower prices because they are American loving patriots and employment would explode. The confidence in which they spoke on the topic was unbelievable. If you hadn't read any of their other posts you would have thought they were Harvard educated economists

This is true. "I bet this MF'er went to Harvard" is what I often caught myself saying about either them after reading their posts.

I mean, obviously it depends on profitability. If the American company is enjoying more sales and better profits because their prices are no longer undercut by cheap Chinese goods, they may elect to keep prices the same. No, tariffs on imports does not automatically mean every single company on earth will instantly raise prices. What a weird suggestion.  

Boy, he was way off, Kz! How dare he sully your sterling reputation with slander like that??

Yeah he was so far off, what you said was worlds apart!

"They may willingly keep prices the same" is still just as funny today just as it was when it bubbled up into your severely damaged brain and posted for the rest of us to enjoy.

Unbelievable, Trump is back to touting his "two doll, three pencil economy". Who told him this was a good line?

Napoleon maxxing today.

mayanh8: Kz said prices would go down after tariffs because of patriotism!

Me: What? No.

Little man: pulls a post saying some American companies unaffected by the tariffs might keep prices the same depending on their profitability.

Yeah, dude, totally the same thing!

I mean, it kind of did. We just saw the post. And I don't think that was the only one you made about it either.

I'm usually pretty good about remembering your posts because they are so ridiculously nonsensical.
