lol stores are gonna start getting cleaned out on the regular. And they’re gonna stay empty.
Are we winning yet?
Its also what the stores voted for. Almost every major corporation wanted Trump and heavily lobbied for him to get in. News outlets, grocery chains, retail stores, tech companies, every large corporation wanted this.
Source?
Source is all news from the last year? There are hundreds of stories on who contributed to his campaign and caved to his policies.
If true, then parent should not have a problem providing a source supporting their broad claim. Parent claimed "Almost every major corporation wanted Trump and heavily lobbied for him to get in. News outlets, grocery chains, retail stores, tech companies, every large corporation wanted this."
EDIT: I'll add that I think that there are probably pretty good reasons for this not to, in fact, be true. It would be quite unexpected for all industry to support one candidate; normally, there is a split, with donations from, say, the finance industry tending to benefit Democrats in recent years. Trump's 2024 campaign, unlike his 2016 campaign, had quite poor financial support, falling far behind Harris in political donations; Trump's weakness there was why Musk was in a position to bail Trump out with his colossal expenditure. In recent years, the number of major news outlets that are viewed by Republicans have been quite concentrated into a few sources, especially Fox; Democrats have consumed a broader range of news media; and one wouldn't normally expect news media primarily consumed by Democrats to be supporting Trump.
But, hey, I'm willing to see the parent's source material if they have it.
Can you provide a source proving you were born yesterday, or can we all agree that's a generally reasonable assumption?
Here's Walmart:

I very much hope I do not need to explain NewsCorp's 'political contributions' of all kinds to you.
Or WaPo, which Bezos personally intervened in, to prevent them from endorsing Kamala.
... The person you are incredulously doubting made a broad and general statement that is broadly generally true, but I am guessing you would want a comprehensive analysis of every company and corp in the US to validate the truth of it...
... When, as demonstrated above, it takes an entire organization to figure this shit out for even a few major corps, because our laws regarding political donations have been fucked since Citizens United, and you have to do a massive effort of sleuthing to untangle the nested shell corporation like structure that is now commonplace in PACs.
Costco is probably the only major retailer that leans more Dem than Rep.
...In the event qualifications are relevant to you for assessing claim veracity, I all say this as a person who has degrees in Econ and Poli Sci, one of many specializations being Poltical Economy, who has worked for MSFT and a Fortune 500 import export middleman firm based out of Seattle that is 100% certainly shitting its proverbial pants right now.

You can provide a link if you want too. That is not one.
You can eat a bag of dicks
Unfortunately, it seems this needs to happen to wake people the fuck up.
Another article today about people literally having no concept of why the websites they're shopping on is suddenly way more expensive (and explicitly showing the tariff costs).
People are surprised by this, and many of them have literally never even heard the word "tariff" before.
And the illiterate yokels in 12 months time: "Tariff?! That sounds like one of them thar a-rab names!!"
especially chinese sites that deliver to usa.
Nah. We've already seen businesses implementing digital price tags for just this occurrence.
Your stores will stay stocked. You're just going to see merch doubling and tripling in price as inventory depletes.
Eventually, you'll walk into a store, see a single pair of jeans on the rack, and read a $1000 price tag on it because it's the last pair of that style in 20 miles.
Sounds like a scalpers wet dream
the toilet paper crisis will soon be on the scene again.
i heard the shore employees are going to lose thier jobs the moment it stays empty.
And that's just from the Tariff effects. When you count hoarders scalpers people stealing from trucks fromwarehouses and everything else it's going to get really crazy. And people are going to start hoarding things that aren't getting tariffed because they don't want to find out the hard way
