    How much you wanna bet WE(the consumer) have already started paying for tariffs that aren’t being charged yet.

      People have been posting screenshots of invoices with line items labeled “tariff surcharge” on them already.

        Yeah so this article is about how that shit is fucked up right now. Just because they printed it on paper doesn’t mean anybody is collecting the money, just as the article describes. Admittedly this does not mean not a single tariff has been collected but that there is a huge issue at hand, and my point is that big business will take advantage of this opportunity to double their profits short term by fucking all of us even harder than they already do.

      The second the tarriffs were first announced I was notified the 3-4 of the products I had on my Amazon “Save For Later” list had simultaneously increased in price, and they were all things that were expected to ship from outside the country.
