Tariffs….

An overwhelming majority of American voters say that retailers are exploiting President Donald Trump's tariffs in the same way they took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic to raise prices unnecessarily, according to a newly released Protecting America Initiative poll.
The survey, which was conducted among likely general election voters, found that 82% say retailers are using tariffs as an excuse to justify price hikes, while 84% say they believe retailers engaged in price gouging during the COVID-19 pandemic. Another 81% said that the unfair price manipulation they are experiencing is a result of digital price tags.
According to the poll, more than a majority supports the president's tariffs, but want state policymakers and officials to create and enforce strong price-gouging laws and hold retailers accountable for predatory price increases. An 83% majority of those surveyed said state lawmakers need to step up to stop retail price gouging because of the current gridlock on Capitol Hill.

Stop that Race. That ship has sailed. In the context of tariffs, it’s math. Someone has to eat the costs. I’m going to grocery store later today…:better hope things like….ground beef haven’t gone up since my last trip.

Seriously bro, I was happy to engage with you in golf talk but you decided to go out of your way and insult me for looking at that fairway wood. You really can’t blame me for that.

I’ll be at Club Champion tomorrow. Good deal right now, $100 for a full bag fitting. Will buy some stuff if it catches my eye. $100 for 2.5 hours on the trackman is a good time if nothing else.

Take it up with 82% of the public Buck.
And food has been under inflation
A lot of the tariffs are still held up by federal judges anyway. Corporations gouge. Its in their DNA. It is encouraging to see that the public gets it including all the covid scams and trillions of dollars that led to Bidenflation at 9%
People are going to vote on how they feel same as always. Perhaps if your team actually had an alternative that people would go for you'd have a shot
All we have seen is bitching and moaning about illegal rapists being deported. Not a good look for you

What I’m against there is the lack of due process, this stormtrooper force with no identification and masked faces preventing accountability. It’s just a matter of time before one of those high school dropouts decides to abuse their power and harm someone innocent.

I was gonna say, most places waive that charge if you end up buying from them.

You're defending illegal rapists and murderers as are the folks in your party. They have been for years - letting them out to offend again and again. They have no right to be here and no rights. Go to a foreign country and ask for your rights.
The only innocents being harmed are their victims. And the fact that you don't see that is why a bad jobs report isn't going to help you
Hope this helps but it won't
In reply to fuck vanilla Buck

Herr Idiot's tariffs blow the shit out of other countries… you pay the $2k in tariff tax. Everyone should now add $2k to their federal tax bill mentally. Or more or less, but you pay. -
As discussed you don't care about high taxes for Americans
Other countries target us
Thank you for your attention to this matter
-
The trend is for other countries to give up on us. There is no worldwide trend to tariffs. The rest of the world is moving on and easing trade with other partners.
The $2k or so targets working and middle classes too by the way. Trump has lowered taxes for the sick rich.

Do you buy imported ground beef? Do you think domestic beef is fed with foreign feed?
-
Please reference where I defended rapists and murderers and not just write what you want me to think
-
-
Read something that beef producers are mixing in foreign beef into supposedly US products and keeping the US label.
-
lol, best of luck to those other countries giving up on the US consumer and enterprise markets for their exports.
-
I said your party does and you defended it
You're welcome
-
It's happening… some countries are finding new trade partners. It's a big world, lots of buyers out there better prospects than the country with 20% tariffs. These are people, remember, they don't like being fucked with. Time to move on they say.
-
Interesting how AOG only cares about how other countries feel not about how they want to fuck the US over
Just don't call him America Last
-
Please to be citing reference wherein AOG seeks to fuck the US over

I’m sure the Chinese middle class will pick up the consumer sales slack when they lose their jobs selling Chinese products to the gigantic American consumer class.
We can and should throw our weight around. -
I know you're much smarter than me but read what I wrote again
-
Your constant bleating about the US imposing any tariffs at all while the world tariffs' the shit out of the good old USA so we can't sell our goods there. You really hate your country. Please move to a better one of your choice comrade.
