So if the customer paid more to cover the cost, why are the businesses entitled to a refund... that will come from the taxpayers?

[–] MrShankles@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And then the refunds come from public tax dollars. So the customer has paid the unconstitutional tariffs twice. It's a blatant transfer of wealth upwards, no other way to really cut it

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!

Most likely mid-back for me. I might glance (depending on the situation), but I'm trying to climb stairs, so my focus is usually on "not tripping". Staring at someone's ass the whole way up... a little creeper. Staring at my feet the whole way up... I might fail at climbing stairs. Guess it also depends on our distance/height and where my eye level sits

The oh-so relatable manosphere /s

People's are equals; you must deal with your own insecurities and worry about other's later. We're more similar than you think, and it's ok to love thineself

My wife trained our cat to sit on a chair, right outside the kitchen area. Cause sometimes she just wants to hang out when my wife is cooking, so that's where she's allowed to watch from. Nobody wants a cat under your feet when you're boiling something

Lmao, well damn I'm sorry again! That makes more sense, I misinterpreted cause I is a little dumb. I'll have to check it out because I am in fact, into those kinda things! Thank you

Sorry, sorry... that was sarcasm. It was mostly slavery of orphans, guised as trade-skills. As well as the cancers, they also had hellish injury/death, because ya know... 7 year olds are climbing chimneys

"Put their feet to the fire"... sometimes kids were too afraid to keep climbing, so they lit a fire under them. Sometimes, they became too grown and got stuck in the chimney, possibly dying. Hellish

And the "orphan train" already passed by, so it's not pictured either. Or the "for sale" signs when the children became too many. But the chimney sweep kids are "living it up", as they're learning an important trade!
