Why would they take a loss, when they can just make their customers pay for it instead?
To consolidate power for the GOP.
Why would losing money, “consolidate power for the GOP”? The only people that matter to the GOP are the ones that stand to lose money. Their interests come first. The peasants will do as they’re told, regardless.
Because the GOP can help them in other ways like making massive tax cuts. They can also weaponize future price increases against the democrats who will take it on the back.
They have the three branches if government.
they don’t want to
Why would they do that when they could use the time-honored GOP strategy of blaming it on democrat leadership and immigrants?
That’s already part of the plan but it loses weight if its happening under the current administration. That’s the way people precieve things, no matter if its right or wrong.
True, but remember they will just blame it on the previous administration until it’s forgotten.
For sure but if I were a criminal cabal I would stem the bleeding until the democrats took power where you can then unload the consequences on them.
You would need all the companies to work together which is unlikely since they are all individually financially motivated. Then public companies also need to report their revenue and profits and if a bunch of companies started showing losses people would take money out of the stock market causing a recession
Oh me too, they just seem to have very few long term planning leaders these days.
We are all going to become slaves in this dark empire. The Corpo Scum will own us.
Mostly, they can’t. Businesses like Walmart have margins of around 3-4% or so. If the cost goes up an extra 10% or more, that’s it.
Besides, I don’t see why they would prop up a guy who’s ruining them, anyway. Even if it didn’t require gifting billions to customers.
Walmart seems to be working with trump already to stem the losses. Walmart isn’t the only major player.
