meanwhile, the tarriffs i refused to pay to fedex are now a debt in the hands of debt collectors
I’d challenge them as illegitimate given the ruling. Might actually win, too.
So how do they pay it all back?
Of course large companies will get some kind of deal but all the people who actually paid these illegal tariffs will get nothing effectively transferring the money from the people to the companies.
US customers (taxpayers) have paid the tarrifs via price hikes. And taxpayers will now pay more to the gov to refund businesses since Trump treated the tarrifs as a slush fund. ANNDDD will pay for all the resources it will take to unfuck the situation and get the refunds out. AANNNNNDD the prices ain’t coming back down - they’ve found their new floors.
Indeed, average person is getting bent in 4 different ways while the corporations will make out like bandits. Bet it’s feeling really great again in dumbfuckistan right about now.
