Tarriffs coming?

What's "unfair" about it? Sometimes they sell goods very cheaply. I see stores and companies in the US do that all the time. I don't whine "UNFAIR!!!" when something goes on sale. Instead, I jump in my car and go buy a whole bunch of it.

NY instituted a congestion pricing tax.

At $9 per entry, this will cost commuters an additional  $2k per year.  

 

Interesting that the democrats announced this after the election.  If they announced this earlier the losses would have been worse.

 

All these taxes will increase costs to the consumers.  Apparently democrats think these costs are good but are having fits over POSSIBLE tariff increases.


Yeah, like POSSIBLE hurricanes or POSSIBLE sunrises.

 

Stupid, stupid Tom.
