Remind people every day that the price of almost everything is going up and that the Republicans are to blame for the cost going up. Don’t let the Racist Party change the topic; they will want to talk about anything else or blame Biden and the Democrats. Don’t let them do that.
The Wall Street Journal reported. “Restaurants, particularly fast-food chains, are struggling to attract customers worn down by inflation and unsure about the U.S. economy.”
For example, on Wednesday, Sony announced that it is raising the price of its Playstation 5 video game console by $50 even though historically, video games consoles only get cheaper more than four years after their release. In case the company’s rationale of a “challenging economic environment” wasn’t a clear enough link to the tariffs, the increase only applies to U.S. consumers. Sony’s video game rivals have already raised prices, with Microsoft bumping its Xbox Series X by $100 and Nintendo increasing prices for its Switch and increasing prices for the accessories for the new Switch 2.
Home Depot announced Tuesday that it will begin raising prices due to tariffs, after previously holding out against such increases. Late last month, Procter and Gamble (which makes dozens of household brands) said it would raise prices for 25% of its U.S. product lineup. And Thursday morning, Walmart said it had begun raising prices, with Walmart Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey telling CNBC that “tariff-impacted costs are continuing to drift upwards.” Source
