    Maybe empty shelves are a bad look for a retailer?

    There will be empty shelves, even if it is not at Walmart or target, small to medium businesses will suffer, I think this trade war will last a while, maybe when Christmas comes and you cannot buy gifts, then it might finally stop.

    Casual look at the tariffs chaos.

    Change tariffs on daily or hourly basis ... by tweet. 90+ tariff policies in less than 100 days.

    Fire all of the temporary workers at the ports who collect the tariffs and/or
    workers who maintain the computer systems that assist in tariff collection and administration.

    Enjoy the win.




    It is just like Trump has no idea what he is doing. Just like.

    Jeff Bezos had contributed millions to the Trump inaugural

    as a result of Trump 2.0's act of economic terrorism, the ill-conceived tariffs



    Amazon's proactive move---keeping its customers informed---has prompted the WH press secretary to spin this convenient lie.


    White House calls Amazon showing tariff-related pricing changes a 'hostile and political act';
    WH also calls Amazon the propaganda arm of China




    "Why didn't Amazon do this when the Biden administration hiked inflation to the highest level in 40 years?" Press Secretary Leavitt said.

    She was being intellectually dishonest; Biden did not impose new tariffs

    I guess that’s good for Walmart and other large retailers, but what about the small businesses. A policy that gives exemptions only to the big guys will put the little guys out of business. Small business owners need to find their voice and make it be heard. Easier said than done I’m sure. But, this looks bad for small businesses.

    Walmart isn't getting an exemption according to the story. They're going to pass the price of the tariffs to the consumers. Were all getting screwed

    Okay, I’m glad they aren’t getting a special exemption. It’s already hard enough for the small businesses to compete with the mega stores.
