How can you have any flan if you won't eat your menudo?

To my mind, if you paid directly, you should be eligible for a refund directly.

Whether or not that will ever happen is anyone's guess, though we know what this "administration" (i.e. attack by a foreign power) will try to make happen.

The majority of tariffs were paid by businesses, and then consumers paid increased prices, not tariffs. You paid a tariff. You should be able to get a refund. Good luck!

I think Trump himself should have to make the tariff repayments until he's out of money, then the government can pick up where he was bankrupted. So basically the same plan, but more explicit :)

Costco claims they will give refunds, so we'll see what happens with that.

I can see how you would think that, if you were completely, utterly, totally, and in all other ways batshit insane. It's not possible for the government to do that, it would cost an absurd amount for the government to collect all of the information, calculate payments, and distribute them. Therefore the only thing government can do about it is refund the payments. It cannot even mandate that they be returned to buyers even when they can reasonably be identified because a) that will have costs for the businesses who actually paid them and b) the ability to charge whatever the market will bear is a basic tenet of capitalism. Also while we're here c) they don't even enforce existing regulations on price gouging.

There never were any such responsibilities and the US only ever wanted to be top dog so that it could shit on everyone else.

No, they aren't capable of imposing it on the world. It's easy to break things, it's much harder to repair them.

They are the most important, vital part of society as far as the lawmakers are concerned, because they're the ones who provide them with their privileges.

Try reading the 13th amendment to the US constitution.

That is not at all what matters to who receives the refunds, which can only be those who were charged.

Tell me something that matches the law, or stop telling me things.

It obviously is not. Government took money from specific parties, it has to return it to those specific parties. This is not even a complicated concept!

Games ship with big bugs, sometimes game breaking, and without connecting you generally don't get the updates. Are there downloadable updates made by the scene for some games? I used to see that on the original Xbox.

I'm not saying that the USA isn't any of those things, because it is, but so are all other places. Literally all of those things are what you have everywhere, because everywhere is capitalistic, and capitalism provides the worst people among us with all of those things. (Religion is just a business, and an inherently fraudulent one at that.) Some places are a bit less capitalistic, so they have a bit less of those things.

Corporations are the biggest groomers of them all.

What I said: "The majority of the tariffs were paid by businesses and the costs were passed on to consumers"

What you said: "Americans Have Paid For 96% of Tariff Costs"

Yeah, American businesses.

I get that you don't understand how anything works, but could you not waste my time with that? Thanks.

The only one of the things listed I hate is the first one, because it's always a bullshit front for people who don't actually believe in any of those other things.
