>If anything, you should be pissed at all the companies passing the buck to you.
Its amazing how much faith and love american conservatives have for business and yet do not understand it.
Let me explain something very basic to you. Everything a company pays for in getting a product to your hand is the cost of doing business. Its usually broken into fixed and variable costs. This includes everything that costs the business money. Be it labor, material, power, water, rent, marketing, engineering, legal fees, consultants, etc and so forth.
When you slap a tarrif on something you add another little bundle of money that has to be paid to that long list bills that have to be paid before the company makes a profit.
The companies that make the product and the companies that sell the product factor this into the price customers pay. In the case of retailers, the tariff is factories into what they charge you, the consumer.
They aren't just going to eat it. They always ask the consumer to eat it. And if the consumer refuses to eat it, retailers will put it on clearance and then just not buy anymore because its not worth their time.
I fucking swear. How do some of you breath and walk at the same time? You really thought the biggest retailers in the world weren't going to pass the cost of the tariffs down to you eventually? That walmart and amazon were just going to make less money?
