You should've reevaluated your understanding on the matter as soon as @Noctilucent "liked" your post. That dude is always wrong!

Always wrong huh, That claim alone is already 100% wrong. What a fascinating toxic unprovoked attack on your end. Did someone hurt you? Hmm, I imagine one of my factual ''always wrong statements'' somewhere cut you somehow. And this... is the result of that end. Very Odd. At the end of the day you're only poisoning yourself carrying this attitude, I encourage spreading some positivity somewhere instead of focusing on who liked not said not commented but LIKED! some comments good grief. Best of wishes fellow LC owner I hope you have a good day bro. Just relax with the toxic s***.You should've reevaluated your understanding on the matter as soon as @Noctilucent "liked" your post.

As someone in sales I feel like I’m somewhat qualified to speak on the current state of things. Many of my products have been impacted by tariffs recently with many more increases scheduled in the coming weeks. When we receive a price increase from a manufacturer we have two choices. A.) Keep my sale price the same by way of absorbing the increased cost and therefore lowering margin. Or B.) Adjusting my sale price accordingly and passing along to the customer. My mark up percentage stays the same but a higher cost means a higher sale price.
Option A happens only for the best customers and even then it’s only under certain circumstances and is not sustainable long term. Option B is what happens 99% of the time.

I also have some “professional” insight. I own a business that builds custom Airstream trailers. We have 3 shops all within 5 miles of the Canada USA border. I am a licensed importer and deal with customs in both countries on almost a daily basis. My most recent experience was importing a Zip Dee awning (OEM equipment on Airstream). Since Trump put his tariffs on Canada, there have been reciprocal tariffs put in place. Taxes and duties on the $2700 awning would normally have been $165. Now, with our wonderful trade war, I had to pay $845. You all can understand that math. This is NOT sustainable for anybody longterm. We regular citizens of the world are the ones who will lose. I don’t foresee a benefit for anyone other than the tax collectors in our lifetime.

It hit a nerve, I see.
Toyota uses a SRP. Different than a MSRP.
If anyone believes that Toyota can compensate for 25% tariffs be cutting fixed costs - I have have a bridge for sale. PM me. I'll make you a great offer.
Also I'd be very upset as a shareholder that there was 25% fixed costs to be cut and Toyota didn't already do it.

Thanks for that
They probably can compensate in the short term, basically holding out while the tariff storm blows over (which, it most certainly will at some point - hopefully sooner rather than later). This would buy them some goodwill from customers that many will remember later.
BUT, in the long term, if tariffs remain permanent, they'll have to raise prices, drop quality, or suffer with a very low (or nonexistent?) profit margin. All of those are bad things for everyone.
Totally unrelated to Toyotas....but one of my employees randomly had their visa revoked earlier this week. Over a speeding ticket from 7 years ago. Luckily, my company is global, and we are trying to make arrangements to send him to work out of one of our Canadian or European offices - but that's a hail mary. I work in a very niche, high-paying, and high-demand technical field where having a graduate degree is a prerequisite. There are simply nowhere near enough US-born candidates to fill the market demand. If I lose this employee, it will be years until I can find a suitable replacement.
Outside of the unsustainability of these policies in the long-term, they also affect real people in profoundly negative ways. In the instance I described above, everyone is losing - including the USA itself.

Hate to read that. Really hope it all works out for your colleague, company, as well as the good ole U.S.A..

What are you talking about?
No, seriously. What does having import costs jump by a factor of 5 overnight have to do with a couple of tv shows (does Kimmel still have a show)? And why do you feel the need to assume I know nothing about citizenship? Losing money is not an ideology.
I'm telling just about everyone I know. Folks need to know what's actually going on and how people are being harmed. The employee I mentioned is married with 3 young children. You never think things will affect you - or someone you know - until they do.

Preach, losing my well compensated career next month, not because of a visa issue, because of DOGE. I apply to positions daily, even to those one quarter of my current compensation. It's rough out there and likely to get much rougher before it gets any better.
I will probably have to sell my LC 250 in the next 30-days or so. Really hoping to minimize losses as much as possible.
Best wishes to all and sorry to get off topic.
GC or working visa?
Student visa. The crazy thing is that this employee had won a coveted H1B lottery literally last week - which includes a criminal background check to even apply - then the student gets revoked the following week. But, the H1B is not active until October. Guess no one cross-checked the student visa and H1B lists with each other when deciding what to revoke......
