    US customers (taxpayers) have paid the tarrifs via price hikes. And taxpayers will now pay more to the gov to refund businesses since Trump treated the tarrifs as a slush fund. ANNDDD will pay for all the resources it will take to unfuck the situation and get the refunds out. AANNNNNDD the prices ain’t coming back down - they’ve found their new floors.

    Indeed, average person is getting bent in 4 different ways while the corporations will make out like bandits. Bet it’s feeling really great again in dumbfuckistan right about now.

      FYI the tariffs will likely remain, they just have to be introduced in a different form. So 100% don’t expect prices to decrease, and that won’t even be because businesses are greedy.
