Can we expect the CEOs to decline any raises of any kind during these trying times for our country and citizens?

That wouldnt work. The tariffs are bigger than most profit margins.

What a time to be alive, for the first time in all the years of working for this company we are moving some manufacturing out of the US so we can avoid tariffs when shipping to other countries. They are sending like half our team this month to train people in mexico how to build and test some of our products with talk that we will be doing something similar to build stuff in Asia

You didn’t believe in covid price hikes?

Companies reached peak profits during the height of COVID, proving that the price increases were not primarily caused by supply issues.
We’ve seen it more recently with egg prices greatly outpacing actual supply shortages.
‘supply and demand’ isn’t what sets a price, and hasn’t been for more than a century. Prices are simply set as high as the market can bear.
