    Beyond Inc., the parent company of Overstock, Zulily and Bed Bath & Beyond, declared in a filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission that this "reduction in force" will "create a more variable, leverageable cost structure and create a more streamlined organization to align to its asset-light business that supports an affinity and data monetization model with a strong technology focus." Uh, what?

    In 2018, President Trump imposed tariffs of 10% on imported aluminum, 25% on imported steel, 20% on washing machines and 30% on imported solar panels. Trump believed the tariffs would be paid by China and other nations who export goods to the United States. He was wrong. Americans paid these tariffs in the form of dramatically higher prices. Trump, who never admits to being wrong about anything, is planning to impose more tariffs after be assumes the Presidency in January – and, once again, Americans will wind up paying for them.

    Retailers are already preparing for Trump’s tariffs that threaten to upend the economy
    The Independent, Nov 7 2024

    Donald Trump has proposed adding a tariff of 10 to 20 percent on all imports – and a 60 to 100 percent tariff on imports from China. These tariffs would put a significant burden on shoppers, according to National Retail Federation CEO Matthew Shay. "The adoption of across-the-board tariffs on consumer goods and other non-strategic imports amounts to a tax on American families," Shay told Fox Business. "It will drive inflation and price increases and will result in job losses." The tariffs could lead to as much as $7,600 in additional costs annually per household.
