    As someone who works with many suppliers, they are not eating any of the tariffs that I've seen thus far.

    Worry not. What will undoubtedly fix the problem of inflation is forcing the Commanders to change their name back to the Redskins.

    The cost differential due to the tariffs is not going to magically disappear. Business have to pass the costs along or they won't be in business much longer.

    Can you explain the difference between "price increases due to inflation" and "price increases due to the things causing inflation" ... thanks. I'll hang up and listen..

    Trump probably wants to cause massive inflation so people will stop talking about him being a Pedo.

    Inflation? I thought Trump was supposed to make that go away

    I guess the best question here is, "Why wouldn't they?"

    Like anything, you can't just slap them on there. Gotta be clever and work them in, slowly if possible.

    Truly breathtaking analysis, huh?

    Wow! Who knew that tariffs (additional cost) and inflation were completely separate and unrelated things.

    Amazon wanted to put in parentheses the part of the price that was due to tariffs and trump called Bezos, after that it never saw the light of day.

    Did shipping cost go down because of cheaper fuel prices? If so did you pass those savings to your customers?
