Alright, fair enough. At least they fired him? Her?

I mean, yeah, it was good they fired it after it was publicly exposed for stealing women's clothing, I guess.

Personally, I loved that Biden and his selections made a point to fill a lot of high level positions with mentally ill, degenerate freaks. It made the memes so much easier for the right and got a ton of traction during the campaign. You didn't even need to be chronically online or in the weird far right section of twitter where I see most of my stuff. Normal boomers with Facebook accounts got to see it. Was one of many factors that really helped swing the election, IMO.

Footwear maker Steve Madden said it will reduce the goods it imports from China by as much as 45% over the next year to try to avoid the financial impact.

The majority of goods Walmart sells are not at risk of tariffs. Rainey said about two-thirds of the items that Walmart sells are made, grown or assembled in the U.S

Oh wow, but maybe 1/3rd of all products might see a slight increase in prices which will in turn push consumers toward more American made products. This is awful. Doesn't orange hitler know he is literally killing us!?

Of course. Because the CEO of the American brand of <insert product> will be totally willing to be the underpriced commodity and will 10000% NOT raise their prices in an opportunity to make more profit.

Did you learn your economics principles from the back of a cereal box or something?

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.

Yes, profitability will determine price point. I know, hilarious opinion.

Is it me, or have male liberals actually gotten dumber since they watched their party get decimated in the election?

No, no, you totally have it figured out. They'll enjoy the profits and not even think about raising the prices to align with the increased demand. You nailed it.

It's not like these companies have shareholders to please or anything. It's amazing to me that people are this naive.

This is literally what liberals think American boardrooms will be like with tariffs:

Let's keep this simple. Why would American consumers choose to buy a much cheaper American product? Because it's cheaper.

If there is any significant air gap between where their product is priced and where foreign products are forced to price due to tariffs, do you honestly believe the American products won't go into price discovery mode and finally settle to just under where the rest of the products are priced?

We already know from the butter discussion last week that they are wholly incapable of understanding even the most basic of concept of supply and demand.
