    Some companies have already said they’re going to pass the extra cost onto consumers, so while the companies will pay more, they’ll make a lot of that back from the consumers that can still afford the products.

    Electronics will probably be the hardest hit, with prices of cell phones, laptops, and game consoles increasing quite a bit.

      Low inflation statistics have been helped significantly by cheaper electronics. So everybody who voted Trump to lower inflation is in for a surprise.

      Good thing I got a new computer now. They’ll just blame democrats (who do have a lot to blame for not countering the bullshit of the Republicans over the past 45 years) for it and insist that the tariffs would have brought prices down if they were done without democratic interference…

        They’ll absolutely blame Biden. Their god emperor is incapable of doing anything wrong.

          It’s like in 1984 where the Party blames all problems on Emmanuel Goldstein, and even if he was dead or long dead it was all the machinations that he put into place that is causing all their issues.

        They’re supposedly opening a semiconductor plant in Arizona. I think Biden and Trump are attending a groundbreaking ceremony or something.

      They’ll find a way to blame everyone else when all the Chineseium junk on amazon suddenly isn’t so cheap.
