Tariff costs being passed to the consumer. So. Much. Winning.

Because some companies are choosing to absorb the increased costs of the tariffs for as long as they can instead of passing along to the consumer, hoping Trump will TACO like he has with most of his tariff plans.
Sony eventually raised the white flag. Nintendo will, too.

Re: Sony raises PS5 Console prices
Then you're not paying attention. Maybe you can parachute into trade policy in November for two months like the NHL Playoffs. Certainly you have a formula that has figured out for decades how tariff policy will affect prices and inflation in the U.S.Lancer wrote: Fri Aug 22, 2025 6:03 pm i dont know if it's that

I look forward to your report. I also look forward to your "OK, boomer" response.
