Prices for many consumer goods would have dropped throughout most of 2025 and through early 2026 were it not for tariffs, according to the New York Fed.
No matter the market situation, prices just go up. Remember when during COVID, all the super/hypermarkets have “sadly” reported that they need to up the prices due to the supply chain issues, then promptly forgot to take off that extra 30-60% increase when those supply chain issues evaporated, and reported record high profits?
It’s the same exact shit. Any savings there would be, these asshole megacorps will swallow just to appease shareholders.
The claim was that WITHOUT tariffs consumer prices would’ve fallen. I’ve just explained why even without tariffs, prices would’ve gone up or at least stayed the same…
Somehow I highly doubt that.

Who do you think pays tariffs? Hint: not Mexico or Canada. Then add the fuel surcharge on all products.
Who the fuck talked about tariffs?

The article. That’s who the fuck talked about it
And if you actually read my comment I was addressing the fact that EVEN WITHOUT TARIFFS consumer prices wouldn’t have dropped.
But please keep on going on about the tariffs when we’re talking about what would’ve been without them.
I’m not the person you are arguing with, I just wanted to point out how aggressive you are for no reason at all.
