  2. few wks ago KABC had a toy mgfr on to explain tariffs, said when his merch arrives at the port he’s required to pay the tariff to the CBP, if he doesn’t the merch is returned to the originating nation said he works on a 10% profit factor so tariffs get passed on to his retailers or direct customers

  3. totally flies in the face of their trump loving ad, bragging 80% of their vehicles are assembled in the US, no tariffs and this oldie ‘we didn’t take bailout money’… decades ago car factories were surrounded by facilities which manufactured the parts, carmakers bought them out & moved them overseas

  4. even starbucks is reporting reduced sales, it may not be directly related to employment but more that ppl are being more selective either by choice or need in how they spend their dwindling leisure funds, is an egg mcmuffin a regular $6 expense or saved for a special day
