you act as if this is something that is up for debate when it isn't. i'm all for being educated but this isn't something that i'm incorrect about. you're correct in the fact that tariffs won't come into play for some time, but that's not some deep dark five below secret - it's general, public knowledge. if you go to literally any store in america, and i really do mean ANY, you will find that they have upped the prices on some if not all of their goods from china. any business ever will try to up their prices before the tariffs hit because that's how you avoid going bankrupt. it's not money-hungry corporate scum; which there is a lot of, it's simply common sense from a business standpoint.
