The day it was announced they dropped their DEI program. Eff them!

Who did this? That's right, the orange menace, the tyrant of toy prices himself!

Looks like they weren’t kidding about it, Some folks are getting to FAFO.

Brilliant.

There will be some pain, but in the long run we will all benefit and be economically well off
I saw that in a video where someone was interviewing stupid people from South Dakota.
The dolts were certain, that while their farms and ranches were suffering now, that we need to give him more time to get us to the promised land

Trump did bail them out during his first time at bat so they probably expect him to give them some more hand outs this time.

Accurate Regional Cities? Atlantic Roast Charcoal?v Perfect Lonely Cats? Plates Lack Corn?

Likewise, Ad hoc what does it mean here?

I don't work at Walmart, never have, never would, never shop there, but I'm still curious about what these things mean.

I live among these people and they have no shame in cashing their gov't subsidy check while complaining about welfare queens.

The way they take the money and complain about welfare queens is enraging. Also ignorant on their part.

Like Joni Ernst wore

The brainwashed cultists believe every stinking word that comes out of his lying mouth.

that have ONLY a Walmart in their town or county,......... with Walmart having run every other store in their area out of business......

FAFO..............BIG TIME................

Retailers will all take advantage of these tariffs and raise all their prices. Because NOW they can! Our only consumer strategy is to not buy anything.

Cheap imports is why some domestic products are priced where they are. Eliminate the cheap imports, these companies have more latitude to raise their prices. (Originally, that's largely what tariffs were for, to protect domestic manufacturers from having too-cheap competition.)

This is when the shit is going to hit the fan for families with children who will be burdened with increased school tuition costs, increased costs of new school clothes, increased costs of school books and school supplies. This will come for many American families at a time when their credit cards are already maxed-out from summer vacations, weekends at the lake or seashore and the 4th of July holiday.

the sales person/owner said they won't be getting their back to school shoes in until october or november

away with

and blame it all on tariffs

No, they won't.

I hope the Walton family and Bezos of Amazon trash their backs hauling all their ill-gotten money to the bank.

after the covid supply chain reopened

imo it's not just those two (walmart & amazon), it's all these retail corporations (although i don't know about costco so they might be the exception to the rule)

a cotton blanket at Kohl's I had bought 3 weeks ago that was regularly priced at $39.99 is now regular priced at $49.99.

But here is a shopping tip to help out any Amazon customer who has a Kohl's around. Kohl's is a drop-off point for Amazon returns. When you go to the Amazon desk in the back of the store with your item they give you your return receipt and also give you a coupon for 15% off any item in Kohl's and the coupon is good for several days. So there is that. It includes sale items and so if they have an item you want and it is running a deep discount you can sweeten the deal. Other stores doing Amazon return drop-off might do a similar thing. It pays to check.

Target matching - not offering a lower price- matching - the Wal-Mart price for the same item.

Gosh, nothing like the rough and tumble of red-blooded all-American capitalistic competition between giant retailers to ensure higher quality and lower prices, huh?

Is starting to bite.

the proverbial poop will really hit the fan. We might even see a few hardcore Trumpers peel off, 'cause those folks will be hurt the most.

I now source what I need through eBay or local businesses.

I might pay more, but I know my money is going directly to the owner of the business, not some massive corporation.

and what this has taught me?

I really don't need half the crap that I once thought I needed.

I now pause before each purchase and think, "do I need this? is there another cheaper way? can I fix whatever I need to replace another way?" etc...

and on the flip side, I have discovered or rediscovered some great people who own their own small businesses. Friendly, one on one chats.

It's not really inconvenient or more expensive. Especially when you factor in those Amazon returns. I am definitely doing more "shopping in my house."

G.O.P. taxes (tariffs) suck.
