    do you not know that WE pay the tariff charges? or do you honestly believe that, example, Canada is just like “yeah we dont mind paying the 25% in our exports, we’ll just cover that for you”

    sorry but no. they will upcharge the export 25% to counter the tariff, then it gets sold to US for 25% more, then on the store shelf WE pay 25% more so cover the “losses”

    if you dont think this is how it works. let me ask you a simple question scenario.

    you have a lemonade stand. you sell for 1 dollar on the street. suddenly, someone says. hey i own this street. you have to pay me 25 cents to sell here.

    do you continue to sell for 1 dollar and lose 25 cents per sale? or do you charge 1.25 to keep making the same profit?

    if your answer was “id move to a different street” well then you cant comprehend a question and you are dodging it.
