    There is also the choice if making less money that companies are allowed to make.

    A company that is profitable will still be profitable if they make a tiny bit less profit.

    But that’s not even seen as an option anymore. The idea that a company should shoulder the cost of anything instead of the consumer is crazy to us.

      I think, if I understand US law correctly, not a legal choice to publically traded companies.

      And to top it off, if the tariffs went away in 3 months, would they lower the price back down?

      Why would they take a hit for something the US population voted for themselves? That makes no sense.

        Why would businesses shoulder the burden of economic downturns when they have the option to force poor people to pay for it?

        Why would they ever save for a rainy day when the laws allow them to constantly redline their buisness?

        Yeah that’s the question

          I don’t shed tears for soulless corporations either. But i also don’t shed tears anymore for a populace that systematically votes for self-harm

      Why would they make less money just so someone else can pocket some of it? Raising prices is the only and proper business decision to this.
