Oh no! I guess they'll have to get their cheap Chinese knock-off crap from Good American Sources.

Seriously though, even if the tariffs were reduced pre-loony-President levels tomorrow, no-one's gonna trust that being permanent.

I wish I was in a place were I had no idea what was going on. I'm just twitching when I think about Republicans sending people to concentration camps with out charges or trial. That just means everyone is just sheep to be plucked. We are now just living on luck.

145% isn't even accurate because that's just on the cost of the good. You then have to figure in retailer margin, seller margin etc. Most MSRPs will be 300% of what they were to keep those the same as before.

Not really. If they keep the same % based on what it costs them, then it should increase by the same amount.

If they instead get the same amount (which would effectively mean reduce their margins) the final cost would be a bit less.

Happy to be corrected with some numerical example.

So if you see any price increase greater than the tariff amount, it's plain corporate greed.
