Tariffs are seldom paid by consumers. They simply do not buy the product but find a substitute that is now 25% cheaper. Very seldom will I pay 25% more for a product when another one is 25% cheaper. Tariffs work for the individual products when adequate substitutes exist.
What I find intriguing is the media and consumers who draw this conclusion when it is wrong. Now if it is an essential item to life (not in the USA) there maybe credibility to the argument temporarily until substitutes begin to show up. Tariffs work on changing behaviors, period. Of course if the producer can just sell it elsewhere, tariffs are meaningless!
Now, back to my corona light!
