I gave you an example of what you said. no one is doing. We are doing just that. I dn’t need to engage with your hypothetical situation to show that in some cases the full value of the tariff is not being passed on.
Yeah ok that doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a hypothetical, you’re just not capable of seeing literally a foot in front of you. Your one boat of wine you’re going to eat the costs on is your answer for how it’s going to be. Got it. Thanks for the great insight. Problem solved.
“If you make everything more expensive for suppliers, don’t you think the costs will get passed on directly to consumers?”
“Whoa bro quit hitting me with random hypotheticals.”
You said no one will ever eat the tariff. I gave an example of that exact thing happening. You are now trying to create hypothetical situations where your statement could still be correct rather than facing the reality that you made a too broad and inaccurate statement.
Why are you trying to make this personal?
