    Dear 47, tariffs are essentially sales taxes based on origin rather than point of sale. If a business has, lets say, a 2.5% profit margin they cannot “eat” tariffs larger than that because to do so would defeat the purpose of being in business (to make profit) in the first place, and said business would soon be bankrupt. I know you know what that is, having numerous failed business’ yourself.
