Aw darn. My Coffee that was $3.99 a year ago is now up to $6.49. Damn you President Trump, Damn you to Hell. (I bought 4 Bags)

This is paying for my Coffee and then some. 💰 Not to mention my higher wages as well.

Tariffs raising prices, what?

Can you put these all together in a coherent way.

One thing is sure AI usage will raise household electric bills nationwide.

India 🇮🇳 is a War profiteer. It’s buying cheap oil from Russia 🇷🇺 and reselling it on the open market.

We should put sanctions or embargoes on Indian Oil.

Exporters are addicted to selling to Americans because Americans are addicted to buying. The very simple reality is if unnecessary or unneeded products increase too much in price Americans will just stop buying. Remember the addiction to the Home Shopping Network? Amazon is it’s skip the middleman replacement.

So natural supply and “demand” takes care of rising costs due to Tariffs. Manufacturers have to make a profit or there’s no point in producing. So this is where margins come into play. Are the margins worth the production if the sales don’t cover the costs?

Unnecessary or necessary?

Rain shoe covers: $19.99 on Amazon not counting shipping charges. $26.88 with shipping and handling. Currently. Necessary.

Add a 20% Tariff hike onto that cost and it falls into the unnecessary category.

Maybe because I’ve decided not to buy them that 20% gets split 4 ways. The Entrepreneur, Manufacturer, Distributor and Purchaser agree to share the burden.

So maybe as the purchaser I agree to pay only a 5% rise in the total cost or an extra $1.34 making my total now $28.22

Now that whole idea goes out the window if those rubbers start being made here and only cost me $22.00 total (No Tariffs) American 🇺🇸 Manufacturing.
