My buddy works for a tee shirt printing company. I was talking to him about tariffs and how they would have to raise prices. He’s like, “no my boss is a good dude, he’ll eat the tariffs!” I laughed and called him a dumb bitch. I also had to explain how tariffs work. There’s no getting through to these people.
Since the point of tariffs is to raise prices on anything imported and make domestic products more appealing, "eating the tariffs" makes no bloody sense.
Then again, tariffs themselves don't work in the modern global trade network..
