I remember the days wyen every product was required ta have a price tag on it to avoid similar situations long before AI. You'd see a label in the aisle, then get charged a different price at the register.
Wanna bet they try that move again next? Using facial recognition and buying habits, upcharge the customer when they get to the register based on high confidence that the customer isn't paying close attention.
It's sad how many people apparently failed high school civics.
Tariffs are designed to increase prices of foreign goods in order to reduce external economic advantage and encourage buying American. The problem is that Trump's tariffs are indescriminate and completely ignore the fact that certain things just aren't produced in the US, increasing prices on things where there is no American made alternative. So, ya know, a tax hike disguised as a way to harm other countries for all the rubes.
Try explaining this to literally anyone who thinks the tariffs are a good idea. Trump loves the uneducated.
