$10 Milk, Job Losses, and Blackouts: The Brutal Reality of New Tariffs

What Is Left to Say About America? Politics, Pizza, Prices & a Country at a Breaking Point | The Karel Cast Every day, I—and countless other hosts—go on air to talk about the state of America. And lately, it feels like the same grim message on repeat: Trump must go. Democracy is strained. The country is slipping. So the real question becomes: what is left to say? Has the era of a and warnings passed? If there’s no action—no accountability—are we just talking into the void? Is it time to stop pretending commentary alone can save a nation? Impeachment talk is growing again, but will leaders ever do what’s best for the country instead of protecting their party and their power? Also in today’s show: • Americans are falling out of love with pizza—sales are down, prices are up • A San Francisco pizza parlor battles DoorDash as a $30 order becomes $50—who can even afford convenience anymore? • A brawl breaks out on the Indiana Jones ride—isolated incident, or another sign we’re becoming something darker? This isn’t outrage for clicks. It’s a reckoning—with politics, culture, and ourselves.

Jamieson Greer rushed to downplay how much tariffs will increase costs for American households.

Two unidentified speakers told the Agriculture: House Committee that Proposition 12 has increased consumer costs, reduced the viability of small family farms and harmed animal welfare; one urged Congress to reverse the policy. The transcript cites studies that were not named.

A Ways & Means briefing on HB 915 outlined a new extended producer responsibility program, a phased 4.5¢ handling‑fee for redemption sites, and fiscal safeguards; the beverage industry urged delaying the fee increase, saying it would translate to roughly $2 million in added costs annually.

In opening remarks the chair described the Protect USA Act as intended to protect American businesses from what he called overly punitive foreign regulations that could raise costs for consumers.

Goldman Sachs have assembled what they say is early analysis only of where tariffs are hitting pockets. Data as of June 2025, so yeah, still early: * Foreign exporters have absorbed about 14% of US tariffs, * while American companies have taken on 64% * and consumers 22%, with protected domestic firms also raising prices * and consumer costs projected to jump a further 70% through the autumn. JP Morgan say that they see indications of an impact from tariffs only beginning to show up: * goods prices rising * consumption is slowing This article was written by Eamonn Sheridan at investinglive.com.
