Basic economics strikes again.

Is there any chance that companies are using the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices when they wanted to anyway? Like a lot of these companies have more money than God already. They could eat the extra cost and be fine. Seems like they’re just being greedy to me.

Like how the messaging from covid immediately shifted once the media started using the "i" word.

"Sorry inflation. Record profits? No inflation"
