    It’s like $120 billion right? 350 million folks in America, so if my math is right I should get… $300-something bucks!

    Maybe I’ll invest it in some new food.

      I think you’re missing a zero.

      But the truth is, if there even are any refunds, it’ll go to the corporations who raised their prices to pass on the costs to the consumers, but the consumers won’t get shit back.

      Also, corporations probably won’t be lowering their prices, even if the tariffs are rolled back. So they’ll basically just see a spike in their profits while everyone in the US continues to get robbed.
