And will the companies be sending some refunds to their customers?
Lol. No.
Extremely common Costco W!
I’m still boycotting most US companies.
Costco gets a pass though. They sell Canadian veggies and food, and they generally treat customers well and have good return policies.
Plus their $5 rotisserie chicken is the envy of the world.
Or at least the envy of this guy who lives hundreds of kilometers from the nearest Costco, over 1600 when avoiding Sweden 🤷🏻
I buy two whenever I go. When I get home I break them down, we have two of the leg quarters for dinner, freeze the other two leg quarters for a future dinner, pull off and shred the white meat to freeze for various future uses, then the carcasses get thrown into the pressure cooker with some aromatics for homemade stock.
And a nice little eight piece wings for a chef snack.
The United States government has returned $81 billion to businesses….
…. that consumers paid for and now the business just made extra profit.
Pretty sure that was the plan all along.
I am so happy for all these poor billionaire corporations. They are finally receiving the compensation they deserve for the massive financial strain of passing tariff fees onto consumers!
Why exactly does USA has a senate when president can just behave like a dictator anyway and do whatever he pleases to further his grifting bullshit?
The whole Trump presidency showed that Congress is not working as the check on the executive it was meant to be. The US won’t survive for much longer if they don’t enact reforms after Trump is gone. I also have a feeling Trump is just gonna pardon everyone on his death bed (or at least his family) and no one is going to face any consequences for everything they did.
Pardoning shouldn’t have any relevance or validity if it was done by a crooked idiot like Donald.
Well it’s not working because the current congress doesn’t want to act as a check.
Nothing is working because no one in a position of power wants to act as a check. This is working because everyone with the ability to actually do anything, loves this. This isn’t a Congress problem or a courts problem. This is a problem with enforcement.
He has broken 10,000 laws all across the board from child rape to money laundering and racketeering to actual laws governing the president and nation, but everyone in an enforcement arm of government supports white supremacy and patriarchy and they think this is the only way for them to stay on top of brown and black skinned people, women, and queer people.
This isn’t a trump problem. He’s just the head of the pimple. America is full of pus. It must be drained and dealt with or another head will form right after the first. Everyone with a government gun wants this to happen. Everyone with a government gun will continue to push this just like they did before trump, and they will “elect” another.
None of us will be getting a dollar of that money back, and we paid for it. All of it. This is an $81b windfall to corporations.
You paid for it twice: once with your own money when you bought things and the companies passed the tariff costs on to you, and once with your taxes when they refunded the tariffs to the companies.
Again. This isn’t the first time corporations got “justice” or “help”, at our cost.
*holds wallet open in vain*
Kudos to the photographer who took the pic right as drumpf had that ridiculousslook on his face.
Yes, it must be hard catching him looking odd, due to the excellent hair and make up.
And they spent it all so now they have to print money to hand it back.
