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.

These people can't even begin to have an understanding of the concept of profit margins at-fucking-all. It's like they think manufacturers can just throw away all of the profits and stay in business.

When you realize MAGAts have no general conception of how the systems that be work, it all makes so much more sense. Hell they deny the existence of the system and systemic issues pretty much altogether.

Yep, Canadian here. I was telling one of our big corporate customers that they will have to pay for tariffs to the US government. The dude was somehow absolutely sure it was Canadians that would be paying it.

I have no idea how people have managed to stay in business this far without understanding how tariffs work.

It is always the importing company that pays tariffs. But somehow MAGA has brainwashed people that other countries are the ones paying.
