World News

Important to note here that Donald lied repeatedly and vociferously that tariffs would not lead to price increases. (Getting this in before people come here to blame the voters.)

Thanks, universe, for not letting me spawn in the USA...

Walmart Chief Financial Officer John David Rainey previously told Newsweek: "As we look ahead, while operating conditions are expected to remain dynamic, our strategy is clear, our top-line momentum is strong, and we are flexing into our advantages to protect margins as we grow."

"Look, lord knows what our fuckwit President will do next, but our plan is clear. While our profits continue to be strong, we'll use our heft to squeeze suppliers and our near monopoly in rural areas to squeeze customers. In any case, we'll protect our bottom line and continue to grow."

I commend these employees for posting the price increases.

Despite TACO Don's lies, really, we all knew this was coming. It's good to have validation, regardless.

Newsweek has reached out to Walmart outside of regular working hours via an online contact form.

Lol gotta love how Newsweek doesn't even have someone they can reach out to at Walmart. At this point Walmart's PR department is probably an intern with a microsoft copilot account since no matter what shitty thing they do nothing happens to them and people still shop there.

Tacoflation is going to hurt US consumers.

Good. Let's get my mother the cheaper groceries she wanted.

Fascist bitch.

HitlerPig's primary campaign promise was to lower prices, which were already under control. Now prices are going up significantly, and the media isn't going after him for it. I have heard him claim in multiple interviews that gas is $2 a gallon, and yet I've never heard a journalist challenge that easily disputable lie. There is not a single place in this country where gas is $2, so why aren't they demanding answers when he says this? Where is it $2?

Every interview should be demanding how he intends to bring down prices, like he promised, and when it will happen.

TBF there is a cocoa shortage so the powder increase is expected. But there isn't a Chinese fishing reel shortage, just dumb taxes.

Grocery shopping yesterday we really noticed it for the first time. Things have been higher and higher for a while but now there an extra 10-30% on some goods, overnight. Gonna be a brutal year. I’ve never seen stagflation in the flesh. No one my age has.

You know where you notice this? As an American buying appliances in Europe. You can buy a front loading washing machine for 300€, including VAT. A refrigerator? 400€. Three years ago I paid 1800 for a fridge in the us, and last year bought a scratch and dent special washing machine for $600

Edit: and US prices are not including Tax.

As best I can tell from Trump administration statements, their strategy for mitigating their political damage has been to publicly demand that WalMart and other companies just take losses as he increases their input costs.

That's not going to happen, but I suppose that it doesn't matter, if enough people believe that it could.

But the felon rapist conman traitor said he'd lower prices.

HE SAID SO.

I used to be a department manager in the GM side and had to do a lot of price increases for my toys due to supply chain issues in 2020. this kind of price change is crazy and I am glad they fired me for being a fag. I would hate to still be working there

Are we feeling great again yet? 200% cost of goods sure feels great for the company stockholders.
