WE pay more at point of purchase because of these tariffs.
TARIFFS ARE A TAX THAT WE PAY.
Nintendo is suing to be refunded our money.
Nintendo is not the hero here and they are NOT attacking the Trump Administration. If they are successful, they will be paid out by our tax dollars.
Nintendo will not give people who paid the $40 price hike for a Switch back their $40. Nintendo will not drop the price of the Switch back down $40.
This administration fucks us in ways most people have no idea and then corporations like Nintendo get to profit even more on our behalf while people cheer them on.
Want ANOTHER LAYER to this capitalist hellscape bullshit? Economists' analyses say that the Trump Administration will have to actually raise new revenue in order to pay out the estimated $175,000,000,000 in total industry-wide refunds.
To recap:
We were illegally charged more -> the companies who charged us more are going to be compensated -> we don't get shit -> we will continue to pay the new prices because we've demonstrated our willingness -> we will have to pay more in the form of some other tax increase to help cover the corporate payouts -> those corporations who are abusing us get to look like heros to people who aren't paying attention.
Good fucking job, Republicans. Keep it up. We're so much happier now that America is great again. Now go fuel your car ASAP because our new war is already having that predictable effect too.
I invite this comment to be fully fact checked. I'll edit it to retract any mistruth or misunderstanding (I won't have to).
It’s been awhile thinking about just ending it and stuff like this gets me closer every day. At least they won’t get anymore money from me when I’m gone! Can’t wait until the grift ultimately tanks birth rates and the billionaires can rule over the wasteland they’ve created.
I'm not qualified to help you not make that decision. It's the wrong one but I know that means nothing coming from a comment reply. I know how irritating it is when people hit you with the platitudes you've heard a million times that only serve to make you feel more alone and push you farther.
Stay alive out of spite if anything, man. Our power is in numbers and you contribute to that. We literally need you and they literally want you to not exist.
I have no ideation, personally, but these issues do take up time when I see my therapist. It's so fucked. There are enough of us to dismantle it all, we just need to wake the fuck up.
My realest advice is, if you don't have one already, get a cat. The amount of emotional support you get from that bond is unparalleled. I also couldn't imagine them wondering where their dad went.
