Trump promised voters tariffs are a panacea for the economy, but Walmart finance chief John David Rainey warned they will be inflationary for customers.

    Pretty sure everyone was told this before the election.

    Problem:

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2024/11/12/trump-election-win-college-educated-voters/76109508007/

    “Harris outperformed Biden’s 2020 numbers among white voters with college degrees. Meanwhile, exit polling from NBC News gave Republicans a 9-point gain with voters who never attended college.”

      Thing is, basic economics is a high school subject, except:

      “Sir, when am I going to have to know how tariffs work in the real world?”

          I don’t think mine even had it as an elective. We were too busy spending 2 years of history classes learning how nice the Pilgrims were to the natives. And this was in Massachusetts, which I believe ranks #1 in education in the US.

            #1 in education.

            And also the only state in the country where every precinct voted for Harris.

            Surely that must be a coincidence, right?

        Basic economics was not a required class in my high school. Macro and Micro Economics were both electives.

          tariffs, trade wars, and their effects surely were covered, or at least touched on, in a history class or two.

          I was the idiot who though skipping school to partake in smoking weed was the better outcome of studying at school, although I do partially blame being bullied at school for me avoiding it.

      I bet a big portion of that 9% shops at Walmart.

      Would been smart for Wally’s bottom line to maybe tell their customers about this before the fucking election.

        They don’t care. The owners of Walmart are some of the richest people in the world. So like all rich people they just figure they’ll hike prices and people will still pay (and they’ll have to, because Walmart tends to drive all its competitors out of town).

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
