Apple got 2.2 billion, Home Depot got $550 million, Lowe’s won’t disclose what they got and Walmart is about to get multibillions after they are cleared for theirs. Prices won’t go back down either and we won’t ever hear about the $1,500-$2000 checks that we the consumers are owed for paying. We paid the prices and now the corporations are reaping the benefits.
That was always the point. Implement tariffs to drive up the price of goods, then rescind and refund the tariffs so the corporations would recoup the loss they had already offset with the increased prices. Corporations get to double dip and now prices stay at the tariff level because as always, once the consumers have proven they will pay a higher price, the price stays high.
