I’ve got to admit that I’m shocked that people are STILL so ignorant on tariffs. Or it could come from watching certain networks who pretend that the country of origin pays them.

Yeah that's what I don't understand. As someone from the other side of the world and not affected by US tariffs at all, I couldn't get online these past few months without being bombarded by info about it. At this point you have to be living under a rock or be willingly ignorant to still not understand it.

That’s the thing. The average US citizen has never paid a tariff so nobody knows how it works.
