The Trump Tariffs thread

[lxskllr]

Wegmans coffee has gone up twice this year. It started at 34¢/oz, then 37¢, and now 39¢

It's too bad Trump and the Repukeicans don't remember the Great Republican God, Ronnie Rayguns...

particularly this bit:

I don't think there is a could about it. They ruling today doesn't go into effect till Mid October, allowing for appeal to the SCOTUS. If the past history of the SCOTUS BS rulings are any indication, they will allow the tarrifs to continue until they hear the appeal, or "rule" that it needs to be returned to the lower courts with no explanation, or a calvinball one, allowing the tarrifs to continue. I mean come on, the conservative side of the SCOTUS has proven that they have Trump's junk so far down their throats, it would make a professional hooker/porn star choke.

I know they're liars. The whole point is to maintain a public consensus that the administration is violating the clear meaning of the law and Constitution and the radical SCOTUS is enabling it through their obvious Calvinball decisions. It lets you build public support to reform SCOTUS when you take back power.

Not lately.

You're not the only one who got tired of him blaming everyone for everything.

Think power doesn't help people like before.. power just steals money from taxes for their donors.

I was just curious when I bought my 1070 since I bought a 9060xt just this month.. it was in 2017. Guess what we didn't pay sales tax back then on internet purchases.

From then came sales tax increases, covid greedflation, current tariffs but the CPE measure is well within check and shows no inflation.. /rolleyes

My car insurance bill has doubled. My cooking oil has doubled. Groceries have doubled. But things are fine for the billionaires.. infact could not be better!

Power derives from the people who grant legitimacy to the exercise of that power. Unpopular people who have tried to shield themselves from the broader public have a habit of not remaining in power if they also managed to piss off the other keys to power. The US has a long, public history of believing in some democratic process - it isn't some nascent democracy with memories of monarchy or dictatorship where the general public may acquiesce to a return to centralized power.

You mean, the retailer didn't collect it. You still owed it under state use tax.

Where have sales taxes dramatically increased?
You think companies are more greedy now than in the past? Salaries were also exceeding the rate of inflation over the last 2 Biden years. So yes, prices were going up, but salaries were going up faster, and as supply crunches cleared up, prices were also stabilizing for many things.

My car insurance bill has doubled. My cooking oil has doubled. Groceries have doubled. But things are fine for the billionaires.. infact could not be better!

Well, my car insurance got cut in half, so I have an anecdote too.

Groceries have also not doubled in price. If you're paying literally double, you have a shopping issue.

There are problems to fix, but you don't have to make up imaginary facts to be mad at. It doesn't bring people to your position when half of what you say is wrong and people figure it out - they start to instead wonder what else you're wrong about.
