Let’s imagine that it does hurt corporate profits first. Will they survive? Probably the big ones, might be a bit harder for little ones. So the world keeps turning, right? But like you said the end customer will eat some of the costs, so we agree that prices will go up in the end.
Where’s the upside? More money funneled into the government? Paid by the increased prices for the consumer, or some dips in corporate profits?
I’m not sure that’s a win for the consumer normies.
US is good sufficient and mostly energy sufficient although we have oil mix and refining capacity mismatch.
The win is they will consime less plastic trash while paying higher prices for goods that they actually need. Less trash, they will value more of what they buy.
For me personallly, seeing these corporate proift wiped is enjoyable after half a decade of price gouging.
Second hand markets will get a boost too.
But the bigger point I am making is how idiots are shilling corporate agenda they internalized it so strongly to where it turns into melt downs
I am positting that price gouging has already hit peak and tariffs will limit corpos ability to price gouge.
They barely pay income taxes, they will pay have to pay some of these tariffs from their profits at the very least. A suggestion that led to the melt down in this thread from mean Lemmy.

I’m not sure who you mean is shilling for corporations, but that’s certainly not the vibe I got from most of this thread.
It would be nice to see corporate profits wiped, especially after so much price gouging we’ve had to endure.
But why do you think that gouging will stop?
