Looks like someone needs to make his bonus numbers. 
Walmart says they will increase prices. Okay, so people will either buy less of whatever they used to buy, which is not a bad thing, or find another seller to buy from, or just pay up. None of these options are necessarily bad and are all part of a capitalistic society.
I think items were artificially priced low due to China imports will now be prices more realistically without the China factor. There is no "real price" that exists. Prices are what someone is willing to pay. If no one wants something that Walmart sells, the price will go down or they will stop carrying it. Fine too.
Big Corps are trying to make big headlines like this to scare people to get them to hate Trump. They want us to go back to the days when they made tons of money while killing local businesses until there was no one here to pay for those items.
Walmart, go for it. You do what you gotta do, we will do what we gotta do. Let's see where things fall.

Walmart warns it will raise prices because of tariffs

Walmart, the world's largest retailer, warned that is not immune from President Donald Trump's tariffs. It plans to raise prices on some items as Trump's global trade war sends the company's costs higher.
"We will do our best to keep our prices as low as possible. But given the magnitude of the tariffs, even at the reduced levels announced this week, we aren't able to absorb all the pressure given the reality of narrow retail margins," Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said Thursday on an earnings call.
"The higher tariffs will result in higher prices," he said.
Tariffs on China are raising costs on electronics and toys, McMillon said, and some food costs are going up from tariffs on Costa Rica, Peru and Colombia.
Walmart said the price hikes will begin later this month.
"I'm concerned that consumer is going to start seeing higher prices. You'll begin to see that, likely towards the tail end of this month, and then certainly much more in June," Walmart finance chief John David Rainey said in an interview with CNBC Thursday.
Many companies have been raising prices to mitigate cost increases from the 10% universal tariffs on every product entering the United States and higher levies on Chinese goods. Washington and Beijing reached an agreement to lower those tariffs this week, but the United States still charges a 30% levy on most goods coming from China.
