Here if you have moths in your home it is mostly just because they were attracted to the lights and flew inside through an open window.

Why on Earth would that not mean the customer deserves a refund? The entire cost of the tariffs has been placed on the customer. No business sold their imported goods at the same price after having paid the tariff fees, they all raised their prices.

The system would be not having a lunatic who implements tariffs at a whim and based purely on insider speculation and temper tantrums.

It would at least be a start.

Yeah, the comment conveniently seems to forget that most people paid tariff costs not by directly importing something, but by simply buying the thing at a tariff inflated price in a store.

There's no refund for those, and that is where the largest part of tariff costs has been paid.

Ah yes, the oligarch circlejerk. "Look how much business we do at the business factory! Line goes up!".

It is curious that the majority of innovation happening with these megacorporations are in financing and not in tech. It should tell everybody something.

Doesn't really help that they got an almost monopoly on the market (with the only competitors being as shitty and involved in the AI circlejerk just as much).

Nvidia, the mastermind behind it all, laughing outside.

What a laughable strawman from a coglover. On the contrary LLM lovers will happily give money to techbro oligarchs who directly supports Trump and Israel. They will also eagerly burn down the planet just for the sake of some sloppy code.

Again. There has been at least 2 other instances.

What a ridiculous thought process.

Spoken like a person who is incapable of caring about more than one cause at a time. Luckily that doesn't apply to most of us.

That is pretty much how it worked in most European countries at the time. During or in the late middle ages, slavery was outlawed in a lot of European countries. But none of that legislation applied to the colonies during the early modern period.

So a lot of European countries had to abolish slavery twice (or more).
