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.

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.

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

Let us bow our heads in prayer for those that have to pay more for a gaming console.
