Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
Technically they probably could for a long time. But that might mean that some of the family members might demote themselves to multimillionaires instead of multibillionaires .
They'll still be multibillionaires.
I think eating the tariff would take that family from being multi billionaires and will leave them as multi billionaires
They could halve their prices and still make bank.
Markups at retail stores are insane, places like Walmart are the worst.
Walmart also sells lower grade goods, while there isn't much you can do to foodstuffs there's a shit tonne you can do to say clothes, appliances, and tools. The only exception I can assume is things like computers, complex electronics, and firearms.
Why assume an exception?
The ones I listed as exceptions are basically the only ones you can't dumb down without more effort than it's worth, computers and complex electronics are generally super standardized and can't really be made all that much worse. More or less the same thing with firearms can't be lowered passed a certain point. Though I can assure you that with maybe the sole exception of the game systems Walmart is largely stocking the cheapest versions of the stuff they can't get manufactured cheaper, the only reason the game systems noted as an exception is because they are already the inferior gaming platform.
Gotcha. Thanks for clarification.
In Trumps America? Doubt it. Profiteering during Covid will pale in comparison.
