>Zero businesses passed on the additional costs onto the consumer? None? That wasn't the claim made. OP said: >and businesses absorbed the vast majority of the blow through both stockpiling and taking the bullet. Which so far as I can tell, is approximately correct, even if the "vast majority" part is suspect. A goldman sacs from last year estimated consumers will pay 55% of the tariffs by end of 2025. However that only includes the tariffs paid, whereas OP also included "stockpiling". https://abcnews.com/Business/new-tariffs-effect-us-consumers... | ||||||||||||||

OP also says "This would be a valid concern if..." so, no need to defend these poor massive businesses who also screwed us with shrinkflation for five years. | ||||||||||||||
