Literally no one knows how tariffs work ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

The way tariffs work is companies pass on the cost of those tariffs directly to consumers by raising their prices. THAT'S how tariffs work.

Nobody is getting "punished" by this except consumers.

A gross oversimplification. Yay!

Better than offering literally no information at all, which you seem to enjoy.

Exactly. Tariffs are a "pass through cost."

So, yeah, most people know exactly how they work.
