This is the most embarrassing time to be an American.
This is the most embarrassing time to be an American
this is what I voted for and i wanted this to happen.
I should be surprised to see the day leftists would say the rich shouldn't pay more taxes but I'm not.
Socialism can only come from the right.
don't like orange man but he's right
This is the same reasoning leftists make.
Corporations made money therefore they can't raise prices.
Is he wrong that walmart could eat the tariffs? The problem is he could have raised the taxes on walmart in other ways and he doesn't actually care about big companies paying more taxes.
Is he wrong that walmart could eat the tariffs?
yes
He's not right.
Both Walmart's profit and Walmart's tariff costs are percentage based.
If they make a lot more profit in a given year that means they bought a lot more product to sell which would mean they will have a lot more tariff charges for all those inventory purchases.
More profit doesn't make them able to pay a higher tariff rate since the more profit they make the more units they had to buy to sell to customers.
He's not wrong. Walmart could eat them and it would be of little actual consequence. Corporations, naturally, want to pass off that loss to consumers by punishing them.
I doubt he could raise taxes on Walmart specifically in a way that wouldn't apply to the majority of companies.
I think if you come to this conclusion you are not ensouled.
First, it is easily evident that to see that anyone who argues that tariff costs don't get passed on to the consumer and instead get picked up by other countries is woefully out of their element. It is impossible to walk away with the conclusion that melting down and throwing a tantrum over the very thing every single economist in the world warned you of as anything other than humiliating unless you are severely cognitively impaired.
Trump supporters are not people. They are bugs. The administration got caught using chatGPT to make their initial tariff rates. It's unbelievably comedic mistake after unbelievably comedic mistake directly making their lives harder and running the future for their children and they clap like seals as he shits in their mouth.
He's wrong. Technically Walmart could eat the tariffs - but in America, publicly traded companies have a legal obligation to maximize shareholder value, so legally they can't eat the tariffs, they have to charge customers.
Remove corporate fiduciary duty to shareholders and you'll heal the sickness that's killing America.
Very
That's more or less the reason most of his business fail.
Nobody ever actually gets in trouble for not maximizing shareholder value.
The real problem is this:
Reducing people to, well, non-people, is a very questionable thing to do.
please go back to Israel
This isn't how markets work, if they lowered there profit margins they would have to pay higher interest rates and wouldn't be able to raise as much money from investors, which would set the company on a downward spiral toward bankruptcy. Why would any executive ever willingly decide to do that?
It's pretty depressing to see an administration that is clearly influenced by russian and suadi arabian oligarchs to blatantly harm most of the country for their own benefit and to watch Anon Babbletards dedicate their entire life to letting it happen. There are people reading this thread RIGHT NOW that have spent 1,000 hours ball washing Trump only for him to let big tech rape the quality of the Internet and kill hundreds of thousands of people by cutting off cancer research.
Imagine being so desperate for an identity and wanting to feel powerful that you let your purchasing power erode so that your children are guaranteed to be technoserfs for their entire lives.
I feel like political threads should be an automatic 7 day ban since there is already a board dedicated to them, especially when they are created by retarded liberal NPCs. Go try your shill shit on Anon Babble you little fag.
I think Anon Babble is an open topic board and that you have clear emotional regulation issues.
This guy is a stain on our country but even if someone killed him, his base would just prop up a different retard. Either we're getting an extreme economic downturn because of this guy, civil conflict or both.
Yet libs still want to take away guns?
You sound like you have anger issues. Have you seen anyone about this?
Free enterprise sisters our response ?
according to leftists monopolies and the rich hoarding money is just what capitalism leads to, so if monopoly is inevitable why not vote for the guy who will atleast cut off the invasion of browns for a few years?
Nobody ever actually gets in trouble for not maximizing shareholder value.
Please go look up Dodge Brothers v Ford Motor Company. Ford literally got in shit for trying to give his workers fair wages and not juts bleeding them dry.
Trump is just desperate to shift blame for the collapse of America onto anyone and everything except himself, be it Walmart or Biden or whatever and whoever else. He's saying that shit because even his retarded base will realize THEY are paying the tariffs and as a consequence their purchasing power and quality of life have decreased significantly.
Trump is fucking America into pieces and destroying your present and future. He functionally killed America. Everything beyond that is raw cope and cult bullshit.
Trump supporters are not people. They are bugs. The administration got caught using chatGPT to make their initial tariff rates.
Oh please won't someone think of the global billion dollar retail chain that utilizes unethical business practices the world over
I remember a time when leftists blamed every problem in the world on greedy corpos. Now with Trump in office its only a matter of time before every single lefty becomes a libertarian. Its pretty funny to watch desu.
Walmart wages are so low the majority of its employees have to rely on social services such as SNAP and state insurance to get by. That is tax payer funds subsidizing Walmart's bottom line, while they made I believe $158 billion in profits last year.
Bot thread. Kys, fag
companies that benefit from america are unwilling to stand with americans together and weather even a temporary setback to their profits for a greater goal.
Wal mart deserves the poorest possible review.
the right president being more left than leftists is kinda funny ngl
how do i know what's embarrassing to you? i already know what you think is embarrassing.
I want to see Trump do anything to Walmart.
Do you remember when, instead of defending them, leftoids hated Shart Mart for deliberately paying their employees poorly so they could get on gibs, effectively using taxpayers to subsidize themselves? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
Trump sent 23434 quadrajillion dollars to israel during the time it took you to post this
So who's side is Trump even on? Because this sounds like it was written by the extreme left he's always complaining about?
magine defending walmart in anyway after they killed smaller stores that had better quality products and didn't rely on 3rd world slave labor for their cheap profit that sold our country to Chinese.
Keir Starmer just clamped down on immigration, while Trump just let in 120k H1Bs and is raging at corpos for making profits. We live in a bizzaro world
This guy is such a complete dumbass and so are the retards who voted for him
reality and material interests of businesses and billion strong countries should just bend to me because i will it
did he go insane in the last 4 years you mutts voted for a shizo.
