This is Republicans and Trump’s doing btw.
There is also the choice if making less money that companies are allowed to make.
A company that is profitable will still be profitable if they make a tiny bit less profit.
But that’s not even seen as an option anymore. The idea that a company should shoulder the cost of anything instead of the consumer is crazy to us.
I think, if I understand US law correctly, not a legal choice to publically traded companies.
This is true
Dodge vs Ford Motor Company started us down that road to our current shareholder economy
Why would they take a hit for something the US population voted for themselves? That makes no sense.
Why would businesses shoulder the burden of economic downturns when they have the option to force poor people to pay for it?
Yeah that’s the question
I struggle to shed a tear for souless corporations
I don’t shed tears for soulless corporations either. But i also don’t shed tears anymore for a populace that systematically votes for self-harm either.
Why would they make less money just so someone else can pocket some of it? Raising prices is the only and proper business decision to this.
So they lower prices when the economy is doing better right?
And to top it off, if the tariffs went away in 3 months, would they lower the price back down?
No no, I’m sure it’s the fault of the trans kids. And the immigrants.
Thanks, Obama
Username checks out.
It’s Biden fault
DAG NABBIT JOSEH BIDUN
MUH EEEGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGSS
At least it’s not Obama’s…
Here’s how I think it’s going to go down.
They’ll realize that Sony isn’t a American company. They’ll find out it’s a Japanese company They’ll blame Chinese-Americans for the increase. Republican gestapo intensifies Tariffs will continue until Americans aren’t so stupid
They’ll find out it’s a Japanese company They’ll blame Chinese-Americans
I love how this is one of those things that sounds like an absurdist joke but it’s actual realistic analysis based on current trends.
