I also love that even MAGAts who do know what tariffs are don't understand them. Companies are not going to eat an increased cost of doing business. They'll jack their prices up to counter the added expenditure and pass that on to the consumer, so they end up paying more regardless. --- The world may be going to Hell, but I am personally awash with convenience. ...

viewmaster_pi posted... this is still shitty on the company's end I disagree. This is the company doing their best to keep their factory solvent, their employees employed, and costs down for the consumer. A bonus is just that, a bonus. Even if you don't get it, you're still being compensated according to the contract you signed. If they said they were going to start issuing pay cuts, that's a different story, but they have not done so, at least not in the tweet. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://i.imgur.com/dQgC4kv.jpg ...
