Right, but who did you pay it to? If you paid Customs directly, you paid the terrifs, of you paid UPS they paid they tarrif and you just reimbursed them. There's an important difference.
There is no important difference. You just acknowledged that depending on who you paid, depends on if you paid the tariffs. I like that your goal post has wheels so you can keep moving it.
Yes there is an important difference. If you paid customs you paid the terrifs and you get the refund. If you paid UPS, you reimbursed ups for the tarrif they paid to customs, and they get the refund.
The difference is who gets the refund, that's the whole thing we're talking about.
No, the difference is now you’re admitting customers can get a refund. You initially claimed only corporations could get it. Thanks for coming to my ted talk kid.
Edit: To quote you on the original comment, you said
“ Well the companies paid the tarrifs, not the consumers.”
It is tariffs, first and foremost, and secondly, you have now admitted consumers can get the refund and could have paid the tariff.
Just stop digging. It’s okay to be wrong some times.
I did not say consumer can't get them. If they paid customs they absolutely can get a refund.
You interpreting "companies paid them", which is generally true for probably 99.99% of them, as me saying or implying consumers who did pay customs directly can't get a refund is incorrect.
That conflation is dunce level reading comprehension.
How would consumers get tariffs they didn’t pay? You said companies paid the tariffs not the consumers. Now you’re saying consumers can absolutely get refunds even though they didn’t pay them?
Man you keep moving those goalposts don’t ya.
I like how you quoted the first part and not the “not the consumers.” Part you clown.
Where did I say consumers can get refunds they didn't pay? You're reading comprehension is bad, I'm realizing I'm arguing with the uneducated and its a waste of time.
You
“ Well the companies paid the tarrifs, not the consumers.” (You saying consumers didn’t pay the tariffs)
Also you
“I did not say consumer can't get them. If they paid customs they absolutely can get a refund.”
So now you’re saying companies and consumers paid the tariffs? Funny you still can’t grasp how tariff is spelled but you want to use reading comprehension as an insult. Good job copying and pasting the regular insult you see in your replies.
Because by your claims, consumers didn’t pay tariffs but they can absolutely get refunds for paying them. You should work on your reading comprehension and you would see how stupid you are. Clown
Again, the companies paid the vast majority, 99.99% plus. Very few regular people wrote checks to customs. Most tarrifs were paid by Amazon and Walmart and other companies importing the things to sell. If you paid them you do get a refund. But you didn't pay them. Did you write any checks to customs? Do you know anyone who did?
This is getting pathetic. I'm sorry you're so stupid, and how hard that must make life for you.
Oh now it is they paid the vast majority? Nice statistic you pulled from your ass though. I actually did pay to customs, you thought that was a gotcha? You might be the dumbest clown to walk this planet. You just keep moving the goalpost hoping nobody notices. Hell, I even quoted you and you still can’t catch your stupidity. Or maybe you did and that is why you only quote the first half of your statement.
So consumers can get refunds? Super weird, your original statement was that consumers didn’t pay tariffs. So how would they get refunds if YOU said consumers didn’t pay them?
You’re a literal waste of life. Kick the bucket and nobody will care or notice.
You spent the time to write all that. So you are clearly projecting, loser.
LOL I spent that time while I was shitting. That is what time you are worth to my life. Bathroom shit responses. Look at you, still deflecting and moving the goal post. Ya lost that one, now you gotta deflect to other insults your smooth brain has acquired over your years of trying any form of debate. Sad really.
Edit:
Waste of time says the kid who tried to back out three times saying this was a waste, but keeps getting reeled back in once I quote your stupid ass 😂 🤡
Cringe
Yep, cornered, can’t move the goalpost anymore. Curiousaur, go back to your no child left behind classroom.
Yikes. Get a life.
Oh you couldn’t match mine in three lifetimes chump. Good job moving goal posts though. Congrats on being a retard.
Yeah, everyone who reads this surely believes you. Loser.
I would say the downvotes across all your comments say a story very close. They don’t have to agree with me to disagree with you. Yet again you’re stupid. Look at you projecting all your insecurities through insults because you can’t back up your initial claim. Typical of a weak minded slum as we call you types behind closed doors once you leave the therapy chair.
Yikes. Your clear need to try to feel bigger this way is so illustrative. You're trying so hard. Deeply pathetic. Get a life.
Oh look at you tryna switch it up again. So cute. Nah, I don’t need to step on someone like you to feel bigger. “Trying to hard” says the clown who has spent numerous comments trying to backtrack his smooth brain comment. You’re a clown, and I own you, that is why you reply to me every time I comment. You took three different comments saying how this is pointless, worthless, etc, yet, here you are. Giving me your time and energy ❤️
You can’t prove your point or leave, I own you ❤️
Cringe. You actually wrote all that. I didn't read it lol.
Yet you read every word and came right back like a good little boy.
I read this short one, and wow. Double cringe. This is turning into a case study of I don't even know what. Autistic sociopath? So you think your coming off badass or something? You sound like the discord mod from the meatcanyon video.
A case study? Oh please tell me more about your extensive knowledge on psychology. Did you get that degree with your degree in ”tarrifs”. You look and sound like a smooth brain who has to result to insults because your entirety feels as though it’s being questioned due to your fragile ego. All because you can’t admit you’re stupid.
That is far too specific not to be pure projecting. Fragile ego? While demonstrating the most fragile ego I've ever seen. This is so embarrassing for you, you loser.
No, it’s a case study 😂 I like how much you project that you start to call everything you read a projection by someone else. You STILL keep rolling that goalpost around. Over there talking about discord like anyone other than you knows what that is. You’re a lame ass duck.
Edit: it’s funny how looking at the comments, you reply near INSTANTLY. Goooooood boy
So cringe. My god you're such a loser.
Yep, still instant replying I see. Good boy
Loser.
I love that you keep moving the goal posts and you narrate your own descriptions. I bet I could I’ve skate on your smooth brain
You're still on this? I'll bet you accuse people of moving goal posts all the time because you're always losing and clearly can't handle it.
