will raise prices based on what they will need. to spend to replace a product in inventory going forward.

They will raise prices up to the point where demand drops because of the higher prices.

Very few specials and mark downs. My favorite chocolate bar up considerably and I’ve decided to give it up. Lots and lots of eggs and all with higher prices than last time I looked. Oh, the corporations are going to take care of themselves.

in solidarity with folk of more modest means, I cannot stand this greed

That’s what it’s been about from the beginning; white men not wanting to share the wealth, wanting more than a fair share. It seems to me that greed is what it’s all about including our worship of people with more than we have.

what kills me is, the greedy old pig party is filled with people who can NEVER have enough money

it is a SICKNESS

Somehow we have made greed a worthy goal. We have made it something to be worked toward and accomplished. We have made it a bit like the holy grail.

America has NEVER recovered and it is now getting much worse.

Sellers will see prices going up everywhere and will mark the prices of other goods up too, to cash in.

Because they don’t have to. We will pay whatever and ask for more.

Companies will also delay new orders, so manufacturing will go down, way down, as companies move through current inventory in hopes of riding out tariffs. Plus, many will have to figure out the new, almost certainly lower demand.

Then there are the middle men and small companies that will just fold. They're almost certainly going to fold soon.

Today’s mail came with Key Bank’s new schedule of exorbitant fees because, of course, they can get away with it now. I need to find myself a new bank or credit union. I wonder how much of a pain it will be to change my social security direct deposit.
