100% agree. Restaurants added a "healthcare" surcharge when ACA took effect.

cindawggg.bsky.social•19 days ago

I get vendor invoices and they are starting to do this.

The better companies are the ones that state it's temporary if the tariffs drop. The other ones...will probably charge these prices forever.

sirgeekalot.bsky.social•18 days ago

Something something price inelasticity.

Like gasoline.

scribescales.bsky.social•18 days ago

Those other ones are the asshole companies that should get bent and die off with that behavior if they stay that way.

bigb72.bsky.social•19 days ago

Would prefer companies like Apple who make a ridiculous profit on these phones to eat at least 50% of the tariff

bethjacksonlb.bsky.social•19 days ago

💯 I remember when Obamacare rolled out and some restaurant owner added a line item to bills claiming it was due to ACA. Let them all keep that same attitude for Trump Tariffs.

This! We do it for sales tax, and many other taxes. We need to also rebrand tariffs to "import taxes".

karenmhj.bsky.social•19 days ago

I disagree.

Trump & his minions keep insisting that tariffs are not taxes - the MAGA will see thst line item & assume the merchant is a lying liberal cuck with TDS.

If trump calls it a tariff, keep calling it a tariff until the MAGA figure out they make things cost more, imo.

midwesternmom.bsky.social•19 days ago

Or just call it the Trump tax. Easier to understand.

In my county and alcohol tax was imposed a number of years ago and many of the restaurants and bars showed that as a separate line it. It’s still in place but two tears later it was reduced by 3%

Definitely don't hide the numbers by rolling it up into one price. List it out like a cell phone bill.

applechunks.bsky.social•19 days ago

YES, add the word Trump.
He likes his brand on everything. He can own the Tariff too.

sugarkat.bsky.social•19 days ago

It was already in my electricity bill before the tariffs went through 😑

jamescoffee.bsky.social•18 days ago

Make it “ Republican Tariff Policy” RTP =

marktucker33.bsky.social•19 days ago

If he gets his name on those covid stimmy checks, then he gets his name on the tariff tax. Seems fair.

mfriedmannola.bsky.social•17 days ago

VW has already started doing it. All their imported cars (a majority of what they sell here comes from Germany or Mexico) have a line item on the sticker.

jerryjamesstone.bsky.social•17 days ago

Nice. I am a Vdub guy, on my 4th

vote-see2024.bsky.social•19 days ago

Yes they should! Even restaurants!

radiofreekerbin.bsky.social•19 days ago

That might be more satisfying for us americans who want to see the rest of the world take a bigger stand against trump, but that's not their job. In the eyes of the world, this is just who we are now. It's up to us to take action.

supaterryrules.bsky.social•19 days ago

Please tell me that’s not a real price. I might need a new phone soon. 😝

Trump might get too excited to see his name everywhere.

nerdylawyer.bsky.social•18 days ago

Let him. Then every time the rest of the GOP tried to distance themselves, he'll drag them right back in with "see that? that's me. no one has their name on more receipts than me."

midwesternmom.bsky.social•19 days ago

Good point

defundmaga.us•19 days ago

Would these be better?
'Republican Tariff Surcharge'
or 'Far Right Surcharge'
or 'Conservative Surcharge' ?
or maybe sneakily as some receipt code:
R Tarriff Surcharge

undeadben.bsky.social•18 days ago

maybe 'gop tariff surcharge' since they all decided not to stop this.

ponderbooks.com•18 days ago

I reckon Trump tariff has the alliteration to really catch on, although you're right, it seems unfair to let the GOP off the hook

Still, tariffs will be the least of your problems if you're thrown in a gulag to slave for the GOP's paymasters.
