I know it’s the second Costco related thing I’ve posted on this, but it’s a pretty big deal.

If these MAGA turds want to try to boycott, I’ll laugh my ass off because this one of the best performing retail stocks in the US in the past 20 years.

    X commenter Leftyslayer complained, “Costco immediately passed the burden to its customers. They took the profits during the good times and now they screw the citizens during downturn. They have no loyalty to the customer.

    Actually not true (imagine my surprise at an X user being uninformed)

    From another article:

    Millerchip said that while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices “because they are key staple items” for its customers.

    Costco has been eating the costs of the tariffs (at least in some cases)

      …but who am I going to believe? Do I really think Leftyslayer would go on the internet and just lie? I’d have thought Leftyslayer would be even more fair and balanced than fake NBC news. /s

        Hey now, being objective demands that we lend equal credence to Leftyslayer’s opinions as to Costco’s, or are you some sort of biased person?? 😂
