"Did I miss something?"

No, you intentionally avoided listening to what we were telling you.

Yes. They missed the part where they specifically and repeatedly said they were going to do this. Because American voters evidently have the cognitive skills of a fucking sea sponge.

Donald J Trump is a liar, rapist, cheat and a lousy business man that has failed every single business, and Americans voted in this useless excuse for a human being to enforce facism, racism, and colonialism. Well done America.

It's only just begun. Wait until there are empty shelves at Wal-Mart. MAGA is going to have to work overtime to blame it on Biden.

One mistake Temu is making is showing it as "Import fees". That's correct of course, but they should label it specifically as "Import tariffs" or "Tariffs", so that it's clear what this is. From the comments in the linked reddit threads, a lot of people just think they're extra fees Temu is voluntarily putting on as retaliation, their brains still aren't making the link between "import fees" and "trump's tariffs on China".

I wish I was in a place were I had no idea what was going on. I'm just twitching when I think about Republicans sending people to concentration camps with out charges or trial. That just means everyone is just sheep to be plucked. We are now just living on luck.

Did I miss something?

Jesus fucking Christ yes

Can confirm - I track grocery prices every week and the cumulative "Biden inflation" was about 17% over 4 years, or about 4% per year average. Last week was already a 15% yoy increase, and some stuff is legitimately 100% yoy already.

A Lemmy post about an article about a Reddit post. The internet feels more and more incestuous every day.

What people in the US also need to realize is, that the rest of the world still enjoys more or less unchanged prices on these sites. It is only the US that has put tarrifs on them and it has only affected the American consumers

On the other hand, American products are getting more expensive everywhere else, because of the retaliational tarrifs by the usa.

So it is a double edged sword, but the US is holding it by it's blade! With both hands!

Is this "nottheonion"? I cant believe that people are so oblivious.

“I haven’t been keeping up with news or what’s going on?!?! I have been ordering a lot this past month for my daughters wedding.. did I miss something???”

I mean Jesus TapDancing Christ. You've not been aware of who the president is and what he is doing??? It's not like tariffs haven't been in the news at all. They (along with illegal renditions and other attacks on civil liberties) have been dominating the news cycles since January. I have never been one to ignore news, so even if quite busy with something in life I read headlines at the very least. It confounds me to know some folks ignore news willfully. Some even think of it like it's some twisted badge of honor.

I know head-in-sand people exist, but I am dismayed, baffled and extremely disappointed that they still behave the same when the house is burning down around them. Especially when this ignorance is obviously present in a large block of people in the US.
Please wake the hell up everyone, the house is on fire! (I know I am preaching [venting] to the choir in this venue.)

Yes you did miss something you missed voting for someone that did not champagne on Tariffs.

Hopefully this is a wakeup call for the folks who don't vote because they think that both parties are the same.

Now the stupid ones can 'figure' it out.
