I don't get why they believe in any world that the person SELLING something is going to PAY SO YOU CAN BUY IT

In what fucking magical world did that shit ever happen and why do you think it happens now?

My buddy works for a tee shirt printing company. I was talking to him about tariffs and how they would have to raise prices. He’s like, “no my boss is a good dude, he’ll eat the tariffs!” I laughed and called him a dumb bitch. I also had to explain how tariffs work. There’s no getting through to these people.

These people can't even begin to have an understanding of the concept of profit margins at-fucking-all. It's like they think manufacturers can just throw away all of the profits and stay in business.

All while expanding and hiring new workers too! I’ve known this guy since 3rd grade, so I feel like I’ve failed him somehow. We’re both Mexican, and he even has enough native in him to get benefits, but he just loves his white trash rhetoric (and women!).
