At least he never cosplayed team pleb tbh... Kinda doing his own "situation"

Rest of them is one of "us" hard working mavrevk or some shite

Still cunt tho

True but point of OP is that it used to be liberal echo chamber but that has now changed.

Clearly Elon wants it a different way so you post anything you like as long as it fits Elon's desired narrative.

That's the cute part about enforcing civility rules...

They are only cute when they do it to "Nazis"....

But when "Nazi" do it to you.... It is fascism

The only people who are still shilling philanthropy are useful idiots and regime whores.

Owners ran a good PR here for a while but sentiment is changing

On what road are these benevolent EV drivers gonna drive on with their extra heavy vehicles?

I am positting that price gouging has already hit peak and tariffs will limit corpos ability to price gouge.

They barely pay income taxes, they will pay have to pay some of these tariffs from their profits at the very least. A suggestion that led to the melt down in this thread from mean Lemmy.

Online normie don't appreciate these nuances...

If defeating Russia is so easy, then why nobody in EU is willing to help Ukraine boots on the ground?

So much fucking bravado online...

Make sure you turn off your 5g in addition to what OP explained in sister comment

You don't need to use location services to be tracked by cell towers.

There was a time lol

Kids wouldn't understand

You are assuming US customers will just keep consuming same shit and pay higher prices 100%?

Have you never heard of substitution tactics s or just forgoing discretionary spending

Y'all got some warped view of how consumption "must happen" and "can't be changed"

It is a reshuffle. People and businesses will make adjustments.

China can also redirect their exports and imports whcin are they are already doing.

Soybeans from BR for example.

Sales tax is applied at the point of sale on the end customer. It does not go into cogs. Corpo consuming goods or service themselves would go into GA

US is good sufficient and mostly energy sufficient although we have oil mix and refining capacity mismatch.

The win is they will consime less plastic trash while paying higher prices for goods that they actually need. Less trash, they will value more of what they buy.

For me personallly, seeing these corporate proift wiped is enjoyable after half a decade of price gouging.

Second hand markets will get a boost too.

But the bigger point I am making is how idiots are shilling corporate agenda they internalized it so strongly to where it turns into melt downs

145% tariff is effectively a trade embargo. The only good that will be imported are of strategic nature... Ie medical supplies.

People will have either substitute or out right forgo consumers goods.

As I noted above I dont even disagree that end customer will eat part of the cost. My thesis is that we got brain dead normies running around repeating the cropotate thesis:

it's a tax once consumer, make daddy trump stop hurt me the consumer

When the nuance is brought to light, the normie has a melt down. You can check my comment history. this ain't the first thread.

I don't under why modal Lemmy is so opposed to the concept that this will hurt corpos profits first.

You have a juvenile understanding of the topic and also prepeating propaganda.

Tariff is a tax on corporate profit margin first and foremost.

Any accountant r economist can tell you this.

Managing tariff obligations requires a thorough understanding of the related accounting practices. These costs must be accurately identified and recorded in inventory valuation to ensure financial statements reflect the true cost structure of the business. Adherence to GAAP and IFRS is essential for accurate reporting.

Tariffs can create significant cash outflows, affecting liquidity and necessitating robust forecasting models to predict these impacts. Strategies such as negotiating extended payment terms with suppliers or optimizing working capital can maintain financial stability. Additionally, leveraging tax credits or deductions available under the Internal Revenue Code can offset some tariff-related financial burdens.

Sure some of that will likely ended up being "paid by maga"

But skipping the impact on corporate profit is you being either disingenuous or a useful idiot.

Wrong account?

You made a factually incorrect assertion on which you were checked.

Think about where you are getting these ideas from

It aint my dear 🤡

The headline is a clear indicator that OP doesn't understand how global trade works.

Chinese companies don't import goods into US, American companies do... Amazon, Walmart, gap, etc

They serve as an Importer of Record and they pay the tariffs, which squeezes US companies profit marhin first if they chose to continue to import.

Them being able to pass on the tariffs on consumers is TBD...

Sure medical supplies, not much of a choice...

But a lot of this consumption is just brain dead American normie buying plastic Chinese trash. They will have to decide if it is worth for them.

But the idea that US corpo recovering 100% of tariffs on discretionary products is is just corpo propaganda that y'all larping too hard.

Get educated
