    I appreciate you taking the time to reply, and I’m glad not every company is as bad as they possibly could be, but this is going to be a trend.

    Be it inflation, or supply line issues, or sanctions, they drum up an excuse to raise prices, and they won’t come back down. Based on what you’re saying, maybe Costco will come back down, but gas and groceries in other stores will be more hesitant.

    I bet even Netflix will use tariffs as an excuse to raise prices somehow. We need collective action, a general strike.

      Definitely! Union membership is in decline and so are wages. The boomer generation seems to think the government is the largest negative impact on our lives when it’s actually the corporate suits.
