I have a job at a large corporate retail store and we recently raised a lot of prices, mostly for things that haven't been hit by tariffs yet. The owner is using the tariffs as an excuse to jack up prices for no reason. Even if all the tariffs were done away with tomorrow, corporate America is still going to jack up the prices.
But have you thought about the shareholders?
I have, and on a related note, I also think of guillotines.
Coincidence ? I think not
Picked a couple up for $0.78 yesterday at the local Mexican supermarket.
You know, the people our nation is actively persecuting.

Maaaaan I hate when I find out news through memes. Fucking hell. Moron-in-chief for sure.
Today i learned that in the us arizona tea is extremely good and cheap, while here in europe you can only get it imported so its pretty expensive...
Arizona Ice Tea isn't good tea though?
We’ll know we’re in trouble when Costco raises the price of the hotdog
Or the chicken.
Recession incoming
More like great depression 2.0
Why are they using anything imported anyways? All that the tariffs have done in my life so far is make me question what these "local" "American" companies have been doing. Mind you, two phrases have come back into my speech:
"No company is your friend, even if they make something you like." & " Silence, brand!"
Companies affected by the tariffs are now among the companies whose products I actively avoid.
Why are they using anything imported anyways?
Ah yes, let me just buy local from all of the American tea farms, American bauxite mines, and American aluminum refineries. Oh wait, America doesn’t actually produce meaningful amounts of any of those resources. Pretty much the only thing Arizona would reasonably be able to buy domestically is the sugar.
Not to mention any part of the factory automation technology. Capacitors on the circuit board are made in Japan if they’re decent, motor windings from China, solenoids , the lot.
The US imports lots of Aluminium and refines it into Aluminum
Why are they using anything imported anyways?
Could be just aluminum for the cans, doesnt have to be that they are importing anything just that suppliers are.
Guys...
The product is called Arizona Iced TEA. The main ingredient is.... drumroll brewed tea.
How many tea-farms do you know of in the US? There are some small-scale ones, but only one large-scale one at 127 acres.
India has over 800 major estates and ~60,000 small tea gardens across the country
Tea famously does not grow in the US.
Plus, they sell in aluminum cans, which probably are sourced from Canada or Mexico, or are made in the US from aluminum sourced from Canada or Mexico.
And of course all of their machinery requires upkeep using parts and chemicals which may or may not be made abroad.
Used to hate Arizona quite a bit because it felt super bougie and expensive for what's essentially just a regular ice tea. Developed a taste for it over the years and like it quite a bit nowadays because it's partly sweetened with stevia which makes it taste very pleasantly. Quite unfortunate that most of the flavours sold here aren't vegan because they insist on 0,1% of honey in the ingredients
Stevia can die in a fire. Some people can limit their sugar intake to healthy levels. Make something either diet or not. I dislike the taste of all artificial sweeteners, and its in regular too now with most drinks. With artificial sweeteners (but maybe not stevia) wrecking your gut biome and other problems, they've just added something unhealthy to drinks. A drink that would normally be OK to drink once in a while.
I'm not an expert on artificial sweeteners, but as far as I know, they're to be consumed in moderate amounts just like sugars are. And from what I've heard, stevia is among the better sweeteners compared to something like aspartame or maybe even sucralose. The mixing of sugar and a sweetener is not ideal, I think that's true.
I'll gladly be proven otherwise - don't know enough about them tbh
Vegans don't eat Honey? Huh.
Makes sense when you think about it, tho.
Here in Finland it costs 3.50 in Eur...
They are also pretty expensive here in Germany, though a few stores sell some select flavors for less than 1€.
Arizona tea was already $1.79 at most places around here before Trump even became president the first time. There's pretty much only 1 store I can go and get them for the 99 cents advertised on the can, and they don't even carry anything other than the Mucho Mango juice 😩
A lot of stores around here covered the .99 up with a store sticker 5 years ago, which I thought was blasphemy.
