        The fact tariffs are doing what tariffs do is not news.

                Okay, so you were REALLY saying, “Why is this surprising?”

                No that’s not what I was saying. News is supposed to be informative. Reporting that water is wet is not informative. Everyone already knows.

                You should really cool it with the caps lock, you read like a deranged individual.

                    …what does a “hunch” have to do with anything? Or objective reporting? I haven’t accused anyone of not being objective.

          This is not the tarrifs being implemented, this is additional price increase.

            It says “in reaction to tariffs” right in the title, bud…

              Which means ‘tariffs added some, so we add additional 10% on top’.

              That is a new information.
