Really?
So you think Mexico paid us over $150 BILLION in tariffs in 2019 because they love us so much?
How come we've just watched the PM of Ontario, Zelensky, President Sheinbaum of Mexico, and President Maduro of Venezuela ALL back down and acquiesce to Trump's policies that cost each of them hundreds of billions they'll be paying to the US thanks to Trump's tariffs?
So explain how it is that you think Americans are SO dumb that you expect them to pay $1.50 for a Mexican avocado when a California avocado is in the next bin in the produce aisle and only costs .99 cents?
Maybe you should amend your theory and more correctly state that tariffs are paid by consumers ONLY when stupid Americans are willing to be overcharged by buying imports? And that works for B2B consumers as well that can easily switch to domestic suppliers for aluminum, steel, lumber, oil, or plastics to avoid the tariffs just as it works for individual consumers.
