Surely the price will then drop once the tarrifs are over!

Who could have seen this coming! Clearly this is the Obama tax. /s

You joke, but I'm sure I'll hear exactly this in the near future.

Well yeah but as long as the price of eggs goes down, it's worth any sacrifice.

[–] thefartographer@lemm.ee 46 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Eggs are still expensive, sacrifice more!!!

Have the poors thought about sending their children to work in the mines?

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They yearn for them, or so I hear.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

What the poors aren't having children at a sustainable rate?! That just means their standards of living and women's rights is to blame! Cuts everywhere!!!

"Still" is burying the lede. It's gotten worse.

[–] altima_neo@lemmy.zip 13 points 2 months ago

They've been going up!

Damn it all to hell!

Can't wait for the tariffs to go away in the future but the price never drop 😊😊😊 isn't capitalism the best

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm surprised it's just a 10% increase.

Prices will continue to steadily rise until morale improves

“Surely china pays the tariff!!”

Getting in early means they get to raise them again when the tariffs really settle in. Tariffs have replaced inflation as the scapegoat.

Framework laptops look like they have held in price. Hopefully it stays that way.
