This is the dumbest statement. Tariffs impact companies bottom line. So far they have absorbed the impact and instead fired people...because they are hoping these are temporary.

Other companies, like P&G have already announced increased pricing on goods....which have hit within the last week.

Your celebratory dance will be short lived.

You're a dumb shit. I explained weeks ago why tariffs might not be reflected in prices. Continue adding to your ignorance.

Tariffs are paid by companies who import goods.
They either pass it along to the consumer or they absorb them and fire people.

That's the simple logic of tariffs.

You can try to explain that away all you want.

Nolte: Regime Media Forced to Admit Tariffs ‘Have Little Impact on Prices’​

John Nolte14 May 2025


The anti-science freak-out predicting President Donald Trump’s tariffs would explode consumer prices has now been debunked as yet another legacy media hoax.

The far-left Politico grudgingly admits: “Trump tariffs have little impact on prices so far, defying grim forecasts,” reads the headline. “Inflation climbed at the slowest pace since early 2021 in April, surprising economists who anticipated tariff-related increases,” reads the sub-headline.

Trump backed down from most of his tariffs, so it’s amusing to pretend they are some kind of “win”.

And companies imported massive amounts of goods before the tariffs went into effect (ballooning the trade deficit), so the inflationary impact of the remaining tariffs won’t show up for months.

Trump’s tariffs are 1.86% of tax receipts? Is that the new definition of “Huuuuuuuuge”?

The government collected $15.6 billion in new tariff taxes from US businesses and consumers. Commies!

It is nice to see that Trump, who set the record for deficit spending, has changed his ways.

Proving MajorRewrite wrong again:

Hard data suggests tariff-driven inflation and recession fears may be overblown​

• Courtenay Brown

Between the lines: The Producer Price Index, a gauge of wholesale prices, showed little sign of tariff-related price pressures that businesses have warned about.

• PPI fell by 0.5% in April after a flat reading in March, rounding out an upbeat inflation snapshot after the index's consumer counterpart released Tuesday.
• Goods prices were flat last month after falling almost a full percentage point in March. Services prices fell by 0.7%, the biggest drop since the index began in 2009.

The bottom line: "There is little evidence, so far, that tariffs are inflationary and instead profit margins are being squeezed. But as Walmart suggested Thursday morning, that is a situation that may not last long," ING chief international economist James Knightley wrote in a note.

You haven’t proven me wrong. I only post actual facts.

The Producer Price index graph I posted shows the same information as the opinion piece you copied. Can’t you read a graph?

And what do you think about this from your quote: "There is little evidence, so far, that tariffs are inflationary and instead profit margins are being squeezed. But as Walmart suggested Thursday morning, that is a situation that may not last long," ING chief international economist James Knightley wrote in a note.

That moment when you realize DOGE was always a scam and your fellow Republicans never actually cared about the debt, all they care about is tax cuts for the rich and transferring wealth from the bottom to the top.
