By that logic, if a store raises prices because their rent went up, every shopper should get a refund from the landlord. That’s not how payments or refunds work in the real world......you really are embarrassing yourself......Yes, prices went up Slack-Jaw, but consumers didn’t pay the tariff. They paid higher retail prices, and here is what you are to ignorant to comprehend. You can’t refund a markup any more than you can refund a bad haircut. Only the people who actually paid the tariff to Customs, get the refund.

You are embarrassing, and one of the dumbest **** I have ever encountered in life.

Consumers paid more for products, as the tariff was "passed along" to them. Consumers are not getting a refund.

Price increases aren’t tariffs. Only the people who actually paid the tariff at the border get the refund. Everyone else paid retail, not Customs.
And if your landlord raises your rent, I guess you should get a refund from the city because the tax was ‘passed along, right? That’s not how payments or refunds work anywhere you uneducated ****.

No.

Tariffs imposed in 2025 have raised prices on consumer goods, with studies indicating that costs are largely passed on to consumers rather than absorbed by firms.   


Key Impacts of Tariffs on Prices:

• Small Business Burden: Tariff bills for small-business importers tripled from March 2025 to February 2026, forcing higher costs on them.
• Pass-Through Effect: Evidence suggests that, as in 2018, importers passed nearly the entire cost of the tariffs on to consumers in 2025. 
• Increased Consumer Costs: Retail prices for imported goods increased by roughly 7 percentage points as of early 2026.
• Widespread Impact: The 2025 tariffs, which saw average effective tariff rates jump from 2.5% to 27%, caused notable price increases in durables like cars, appliances, and furniture.

These measures have led to higher consumer prices for groceries, energy, and household items.

I mean........Why would consumers get a refund for tariffs they never paid? That’s like demanding a refund for a concert your sorry *** didn’t go to, because the ticket price ‘hurt your feelings.’  :lol:  
 

Are not tariffs trickled down into the price of what consumers buy using their welfare checks and money earned making a living trying to build better days ahead 7 rotations a week while personally limited to adapting by heartbeats forward now.
Equally alive in series parallel time displaced adapting in plain sight people of faith never accept possible 7 days a week in their relative reality now.

but hey, ignore what I said as usual. Humanity has done a wonderful job creating typecast souls never accepting their actual time adapting in plain sight equally here now. See I watched my own family rip itself apart in the 3 generations gaps I have been in since birth trying to fit the definitions of who's who here now.

Tariffs don't work for the people.

The Smoot Hawley Tariff Act demonstrated this in the 1930's. Look it up.  Economist widely agree the policies prolonged The Great Depression.  Everyone Smoot Hawley got voted out of office in the following election cycle after implementation.

I recall preaching that the proposed tariffs were a dumb idea in the election. Compounding it with Mass Deportations was the dumbest **** political idea I have ever heard of.

In large part, that tariffs destroyed my job that I enjoyed very much and I was hopeful to ride on the train to 70.  Our building is empty. The businesses in town are missing revenue from lunches and gasoline purchases.

The refunds total 106$ Million. Consumers paid the higher costs for the products and the businesses get the money that we spent back.. So we paid the tariff and now we pay taxes to pay the companies that charged us more to pay them back.  

Elect crap, Expect to eat shyt.

Consumers paid the tariff? that’s not how any of this works. Importers paid the tariff. Consumers paid the markup. If you can’t tell the difference between a government remittance and Walmart raising the price of a toaster, economics might not be your lane. Refunds go to whoever actually wrote the check to Customs. That’s the importer. Not you. Not me. Not Karen with the blender. The importer. The one with the EIN number and the paperwork. The law isn’t going to cut a check to every dude who bought a lawnmower in 2020. This fantasy where consumers get refunds is adorable, though. Like imagining Ford is going to show up at your house with a giant novelty check because steel tariffs made your F‑150 cost $600 more. Companies passed the cost to consumers because that’s what companies do. Then they get the refund because that’s what the law says. If that feels unfair, take it up with the people who wrote the policy, not the people who understand how tariffs actually function. So no, consumers aren’t getting a dime. You uneducated Slack-Jaws are pathetic.

If one tariff was all it took to collapse your entire company, it wasn’t ‘destroyed’ — it was already dying and looking for a scapegoat.

Your company was worthless.....making money from ILLEGAL hires and other "shady ****". Once MAGA dropped the hammer on ILLEGALS being here, your company has gone out of business. Do you see the connection, Johnny. Say it with me..."Do you want fries with that".

Nope. The rent is not a tariff. Try again

You can't stop, can you  

You expressed a desire to understand how the situation would unfold, and I am here to provide that information. I have taken screenshots and preserved all the messages you have sent me. When you sexually assault my wife, as you indicated you intend to do, this is where you will realize that it was a grave error. There is no need to concern yourself with whether it will be head or feet first, or if conscious or not.
Ask your "friends" what they think about this. I am sure they will agree, the no show, was the best decision you ever made. Tread lightly, as they say.
 
Nod **** nod.

What the **** are you talking about?    I'm not interested in your liberal, whore of a wife. Stop sending PM's and then deleting them like a little **** BITCH. Send what you are gonna send, and stand by it, Mr. Death Threats.

Your entertainment value? So you intellectually masturbate believing you are more than equally alive daily here living on an intellectual higher plain and any sole with a brain minding the ideas you were nurtured to believe since birth.

What a fool you allowed yourself to remain daily here staying in character because you want to feel larger than your time proportionately alive now. Motivation of achieving power, wealth, fame leading people to honor reasonable doubt than accept living in actual time alive.
