[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This. Retailers are price gouging and it's been proven time and again, since the egg crisis. It seems in nobody's interest to fight it since corporate greed is so strong (and enriching). Even Kamala vowed to fight it during her election-- but (and I don't say this often) she was in position to DO SOMETHING THEN as VP and the administration did not. Trumps a stainy POS. So I don't think any politician will really tackle this no matter what they say. They like the bribes too much.[/quote]
I import goods from EU. The goods in the standard 40ft container I imported in May cost $226,000. In addition I had to pay $22,600 tariffs. So it cost me $248.6k instead of $226k.
Same container would cost me 226,000+33,900=$259,900 now.
Of course I'm forced to raise my prices.

It is ridiculous to claim I'm raising prices because of greed and that I would have raised them anyhow, tariffs or no tariffs. [/quote]

Still nobody forces you to raise the price [/quote]

Do you not understand how businesses work? COGS is literally Accounting 101.[/quote]
