By the Gods! Trump's Tariffs: Companies Pass the Pain to Consumers!

The Ghost of Costs

Hmph. The Federal Reserve speaks of tariffs. These 'tariffs,' imposed by the orange faced one named Trump are now burdens carried by the masses. Companies it seems are no fools. They pass these burdens onto the mortals stretching their meager coins like Atreus trying to reach Mimir on his own. 'The cycle ends here'? It seems not.

Service Sector Slaughter

Seventy seven percent of service firms they say felt the sting and passed it on. Manufacturers those who forge the weapons of this 'modern' world are not far behind at seventy five percent. They dare to inflict this economic pain on the common folk? I have seen less cruelty from the beasts of Midgard. Perhaps I should pay these CEO's a visit and teach them the true meaning of 'spartan rage'.

Swift as the Valkyries

Price hikes followed like a Valkyrie descends upon the battlefield. Mere weeks after the tariffs were set prices rose faster than Baldur's cursed healing. Such speed is admirable but for a wicked purpose. These tariffs are a curse upon the land and Trump is the one who cast it.

The Looming Deadline of Doom

A July deadline looms. July 9th they say. The day these 'suspended' tariffs may return. Companies and investors alike tremble caught in the web of this trade policy madness. They seek certainty in a world of chaos a fool's errand if I ever saw one. As I learned long ago... There is no control only chaos.

Whispers in the Halls of Power

Executives cowards that they are tread carefully. They fear the orange faced one's wrath his social media storms. So they speak in hushed tones sharing their woes in secret. One even dares to compare these 'tariffs' to the plague of Covid 19? Such hyperbole! But the message is clear: these policies sow discord and disruption.

Contingency Plans: A Fool's Errand

Contingency plans? Ha! 'Hugely distracting,' they whine. As if strategic work ever truly mattered in the face of war or in this case economic conflict. Like trying to plan a feast in the middle of Ragnarok. Delay they say. Delay the inevitable. Fools! Action decisive action is the only path. But alas these mortals are but children playing at strategy while I Kratos have seen empires rise and fall.
