You sweet summer child
So you're saying businesses should now cut deep discounts for buyers, because the (already imported) products' tariffs have been paid (AND the business is being refunded for it). Are they going to drop prices now? Are they acting upon market pressures or taking advantage/manipulating them?
If you think a wealth-class has to pay any mind to the invisible hand of the free market... I've got a nice ass bridge to sell ya, at a tarrif-free + ultra-discounted price!
You’re just making shit up.
I’m saying that the business is the one who was invoiced for the tariff. The customer wasn’t. The business increased the price to cover their extra cost, probably even added some extra profit on top as well, but that still doesn’t mean the customer actually paid the tariff. They didn’t. The tariff is paid on import, not sale.
