Two gamers have filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo, alleging that the company will be unjustly enriching itself with any refund it secures from the U.S. government over widespread tariffs last year that, among other things, hiked the prices of Nintendo hardware and accessories.
“Unless restrained by this Court, Nintendo stands to recover the same tariff payments twice—once from consumers through higher prices and again from the federal government through tariff refunds, including interest paid by the government on those funds,” the suit states.
We won’t see a cent of the money stolen from us by Donald Trump and his gang of pedophiles.
My company lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in tarrifs. We passed those on to the customer since we couldn’t take a 50% hike on costs.
We have no way to refund money we don’t have.
How did your company lose hundreds of thousands if they passed them onto the customer? If you made the customer pay, your company has the money and can pass on the money you get from the government to your consumers
We’ve sold maybe a 10th of what we sold pre-tariffs. W have probably lost closer to million in sales due to the tariffs. Customer’s aren’t buying parts for preventative maintenance, they only purchase when it’s an emergency and they are losing tens of thousands of dollars an hour in production. US manufacturing is in trouble.
So the years you have good sales did you ever pass the extra earnings on to the customer?
Edit: ****crickets ****
€hareholders,baby!
Okay? Not sure why your sales numbers make any difference. Of what your company did sell, you raised the price to cover the tariffs. You did not pay them, your customers did, so if a refund for those tariffs falls into your hands, you should pass it on to the customers that paid them. Having a shitty year sales wise doesn’t magically make that refund yours.
The whole point is that the economies of scale don’t work to pay your staff and fixed costs at lower numbers. The damage is nonreversible, like economy studies show when you have uncertainty on the market.
You don’t sell the same amount of product when you have to increase the price. You may need to shrink your business to not get the remaining margin getting eaten up by operational costs.
Oh yeah, our sales have tanked this year due to the tarrifs. Customers keep asking us to find ways to avoid tariffs, but the parts are MADE IN GERMANY
Honestly, everyone needs to just cut the loss and move on. At least on the monetary front. Trump should see repercussions for enacting an illegal tax.
Like getting Al Capone on tax evasion, I’ll take it.
You want to move on, like a coward or progressive. I want a war queen that bears grudges for generations.
We are not the same.
I said specifically monetarily. There is no winning that fight. Either way we pay and end up giving even more money to capitalist class.
Wrong. Have you seen the warehouse fires? We have been “moving on” from every injustice we’ve experienced for our entire lives. Its past time to put your civility to bed and become the gremlins the government fears.
Get mad. Break shit. Burn down the fucking bourgeois bullshit. Throw a dildo at a cop. Piss on your local politician.
Whatever you do, DO NOT BE COMPLICIT.
That’s exactly why I said monetary in the context of these tariffs. You’re not reading what I’ve actually written, your putting a lot of added meaning that isn’t there. String up the traitors, but suing the government or company for tariff money is not going to work.
Not with that attitude.
Do you know how much money is lost by workers every year on “use it or lose it” vacation systems? Its hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. And do you know what you can do to get that money back? Launch a fucking lawsuit.
Do not give up. Do not become complicit in your apathy. Fight in ALL venues, be that taxes, courts, or in the streets.
None of that has to do with tariffs. You’re still not reading what I wrote. Work on reading comprehension and then come back.
