while it's not exactly their obligation, they probably could and still profitThey might be able to but they would look for cost savings to offset the tariff hit, and that would almost certainly hurt some combination of their employees, customers or the communities they operate in.

25% gross profit
30% tarriff
I think we all know 25-30 is not good.
Yes OR label every price increase as "Trump Tariff surcharge"rebrand everything as Trump Brand (product), or put "I did that!" stickers on everything, lol

I don't think the tariffs should exist in the first place.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a25dfd5b.jpg
My opinion is starting there.
Like having to decide between this I feel kinda gives validation on the tariffs existing.

Not sure what you're trying to say here.This is just a poll on CE. You aren't validating the tarriffs by choosing an option.

I mean you kinda are and the conversation kinda gets steered like that. It's kinda how a lot of stuff gets validated if you haven't noticed yet. Now we aren't discussing that the tariffs should be here in the first place but on who should eat them.So, if I made a poll asking if every country with nukes should just launch them and end the world, I might be pushing the world closer to nuclear armageddon?
Also let's say hypothetically, in 3 weeks from now, a news report gets posted about unethical treatment about people at Guantanomo Bay and then the discussion is somehow framed around how should people at Guantanomo Bay get treated. Then someone posts a poll on a website of how they should be treated instead of that Guantanomo Bay shouldn't exist in the first place. That's what this topic is.
Regardless of my opinions on the business, its not the businesses responsibility to bear the burden of the voters will. Pass the burden of the voters choices onto the voters.so if wal-mart owners/shareholders etc voted for Trump.... hmmmmm

I wouldn't
Sigh, look I get you might be taking this a bit to personally or think its just CE dude y so serious but it's not just CE having this conversation and the president and a bunch of others are not talking about nuking the whole world just hurricanes, if he was then maybe so.
Like it's not just CE it's every place, you go on reddit it's there, news networks it's there.
The conversation is being framed entirely different now. It's not that tariffs shouldn't exist anymore it's now who eats them.
Perhaps validation is the wrong word, maybe submittance would be a better one.
so if wal-mart owners/shareholders etc voted for Trump.... hmmmmmA business owners vote is one vote. There should be enough Americans with enough brain cells to not vote for trump and counteract the business owners
It's not submittinance, either. There is still plenty of opposition to the tarriffs. Hell, people were saying companies should eat the tarriffs in February. You can think that Walmart should/shouldn't eat the tarrifs and still oppose them. I assure you that this topic will have no effect on whether the tarriff stay or not. Making a post in this topic saying you won't validate the tarrifs by voting seems more like something you just want to validate yourself.
What I'm saying is people can think that but you shouldn't. I think people should stay on point.I understand your point, I just think you're being pretentious.
If you don't like the tariffs and think they shouldn't exist then say that.
My answer to the poll that was not provided is nobody should eat the tariffs because they shouldn't exist in the first place because they are abused power from ieepa under bullshit flimsy reasons. Why bother steering a conversation in that direction in the first place if you dont think they should exist?
Tariffs it is what it is. Who eats them?
