Consumers now face "tariff surcharges" for some goods as companies pass along costs
« on: April 11, 2025, 11:48:36 am »

The Trump administration's volley of tariffs has U.S. companies scrambling for ways to absorb — and if possible avoid — the added business costs.

Some enterprises, from small businesses to nationally recognized brands, have already announced higher prices, citing President Trump's tariffs. Others, from footwear companies to furniture brands, are warning consumers to brace for increased costs.

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told CNBC Thursday that he expects the tariffs to lead to higher prices on a host of consumers goods, noting that the site's third-party sellers are likely to pass on tariff-related costs.

Some consumers are also preparing for price hikes by stocking up on goods they think are likely to become more expensive if U.S. "reciprocal levies" on dozens of countries, which are paused for 90 days, take effect.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
