  • X commenter Leftyslayer complained, “Costco immediately passed the burden to its customers. They took the profits during the good times and now they screw the citizens during downturn. They have no loyalty to the customer.

    Actually not true (imagine my surprise at an X user being uninformed)

    From another article:

    Millerchip said that while Costco was seeing a direct impact from tariffs on imports of some fresh food items from Central and South America, it decided not to increase prices “because they are key staple items” for its customers.

    Costco has been eating the costs of the tariffs (at least in some cases)








  • I’ve seen a piefed user’s posts show up in my mastodon feed. Near as I can tell, after asking them, it wasn’t intentional on their part, but they used a hashtag in their piefed post that I was subscribed to on mastodon and that was what caused it to get pulled in.

    It was especially confusing at first because neither my mastodon client nor my Lemmy/piefed client displayed the hashtag.

    I don’t think this answered your question but thought you might find the info useful.
