Robert Reich posted on Bluesky that Halloween candy prices jumped over 15% year over year, that Hershey's profits rose 50% after it raised prices citing Trump's tariffs, and that the company received a $9 million tariff refund it did not pass back to customers.

“Hershey's alone saw its profits soar by 50%, after raising prices due to Trump's tariffs. The chocolate giant then pocketed a $9 million tariff refund instead of passing the savings back to customers.”
