This is not news. Of course they will. Then one of their competitors will exploit it.

So you're good with companies hiking prices which will adversely affect low/middle class.

Won't happen. I've yet to see an airline exploit the price increases of another airline. Once one hikes the price, they ALL increase their prices.

No, I'm good with sell-out American companies supporting the Chicoms having their cheap labor advantage canceled out. And your airline comparison is apples and oranges. We are not talking about retail sales. We are talking about the cost of doing business. But again, Trump's corporate tax-cut plan will make all of this moot. Then you'll invent another booger to try to scare everybody over.
