I personally was effected by tariffs because a British company that wanted to build an attraction here didn’t want to pay the $300,000 in tariffs to import their equipment. So I lost out on an installation gig, a ton of people lost out on staffing jobs, and the city/state lost out on a source of sales/income tax. Nobody won

94% of the economic burden fell on consumers. Costs have only gone up, manufacturing has actually slowed down, and it has caused job loss for small business. No refund checks either…

Work at what. How come goods are now more expensive than before. Where is this manufacturing boom. Why are American consumers absorbing the shock instead of foreign countries
