    Is there any chance that companies are using the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices when they wanted to anyway? Like a lot of these companies have more money than God already. They could eat the extra cost and be fine. Seems like they’re just being greedy to me.

      Of course some could, but if everyone is impacted then why would they eat the cost? Also they can add a few percentages and blame it on tarrif.

      Like how the messaging from covid immediately shifted once the media started using the “i” word.

      “We understand the blocked canal, shuttered factories, and overall stagnant supply chain is a problem but we will work together in this crisis”

      To

      “Sorry inflation. Record profits? No inflation”

    lol, assholes. Tariffs are paid on wholesale price, but Acer is going to raise the retail price the same percentage?

      Because PC gaming is about to get more expensive in the US. A topic that directly relates to the PC gaming community.

        The fact tariffs are doing what tariffs do is not news.

                Okay, so you were REALLY saying, “Why is this surprising?”

                No that’s not what I was saying. News is supposed to be informative. Reporting that water is wet is not informative. Everyone already knows.

                You should really cool it with the caps lock, you read like a deranged individual.

          This is not the tarrifs being implemented, this is additional price increase.

            It says “in reaction to tariffs” right in the title, bud…

              Which means ‘tariffs added some, so we add additional 10% on top’.

              That is a new information.
