minus-squareinclementimmigrant@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·edit-21 year agoYou’re not wrong. 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 Everyone in the world suffers from higher prices.

minus-squareSoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down4·1 year agoThere 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.

minus-squareSoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·1 year agoWhy would businesses shoulder the burden of economic downturns when they have the option to force poor people to pay for it?

minus-squareSoftestSapphic@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoSo they lower prices when the economy is doing better right?
