Quoted from iceman44:No Art, tax cuts are going to lower the cost of pinball machines.
And the idea of tariffs sticking are a joke. It's just part of the negotiating process. The reason its a bit shocking is that our government and politicians, left and right are F ing idiots, past and present, and are now getting schooled on how not to keep giving away the country.
Yeah we are all learning a bunch of wonderful lessons. It's just great.
Quoted from Ns2973:So far the auto manufacturers are telling me the tariffs affect pricing on cars by about 150.
So I doubt pinball will change much.
And when people talk about raising the price of a cheese burger 5 cents so fast food workers don't have to live in poverty everybody shits.
Quoted from MrBally:Five Arby's Roast Beef Sandwiches with coupon for $5.95 went up to $9.95 after the buck/hour minimum wage increase in July 2014.
And I'm sure all that money is going into workers' pockets LOL
Also stop eating that garbage.
Quoted from Allibaster:To add some unfortunate irony to this, most impoverished people get their meals and nutrition from fast food. So, by paying them more, the cost of the product and their meals goes up to maintain the business.
FALSE

"We find little evidence of a gradient in adult fast-food consumption with respect to wealth. While adults in the highest quintile are 54.5% less likely to report fast-food consumption than those in the lowest quintile, adults in the second and third quintiles are no less likely to report fast food–food intake than the poorest. Contrary to popular belief, fast-food consumption rises as income rises from the lowest to middle quintiles. The variation in adult fast-food consumption across income and wealth groups is, however, small. Those in the wealthiest quintile ate about one less fast-food meal on average than those in the lowest quintile. Other factors play a bigger role in explaining fast-food consumption: reading ingredient labels is negatively associated while soda consumption and hours of work are positively associated with fast-food consumption."
Like MOST people - including the middle class, the poor, the rich (many of our presidents) I enjoy a guilty pleasure fast food meal on occasion, usually on the road.
I'm a sucker for Popeye's.
Probably shouldn't be a weekly or even monthly thing.
Quoted from Electrocute:Give the tariffs to the farmers.
DOn't worry, all US taxpayers will be sending plenty of money to farmers affected to offset the painful effects of the dueling tariffs, as we already have been.
