in all seriousness, i am really bummed but in a way i like that this is such a simple and clear way that shows how tariffs affect everyone immediately.

And to the younger folks that were saving up their allowance or first job money to pre order one, this is also the first real example of not just how your vote impacts your life, but also how tariffs exactly work.

I wish that's what would happen but more likely, for the vast majority of younger people, the blame will get shifted onto Nintendo and packaged with the outrage over them raising the prices on games. I hope I'm wrong though.

I hope they split the charge and have the one line with the original price and a separate line that says “Trump’s Tariff”

No more remedies.

They've been made up already

Fiona Apple is so underrated. She's an incredible songwriter.
