    it doesn’t really take a super big brain to stay away from a phrase like “You’ll never pay a tariff in your life” when tariffs will directly cause the price of imported goods to rise by the exact cost of the tariff or more to the end consumer.

    It also doesn’t take a super big brain to know that the cost of things like traversing the suez canal (or not, when things like oil tankers can’t) IS ALREADY FACTORED INTO THE PRICE OF GOODS. You’re making my point already. Stop arguing with me.

    “You’ll never pay a tarrif in your life” is like saying Johnny Knoxville has never been kicked in the dick in his life because technically his pants have been shoved into his dick by the clown shoe. Please.

    Yeah ok that doesn’t make any sense. It’s not a hypothetical, you’re just not capable of seeing literally a foot in front of you. Your one boat of wine you’re going to eat the costs on is your answer for how it’s going to be. Got it. Thanks for the great insight. Problem solved.

    “If you make everything more expensive for suppliers, don’t you think the costs will get passed on directly to consumers?”

    “Whoa bro quit hitting me with random hypotheticals.”

    And what will you do when there is no boat coming that doesn’t offer a tariff-ridden bottle of wine? Like, maybe a month or two from now? Will you never carry international wine or will you add a markup to it? If anyone carries an international product do you expect they will eat the extra cost or add a markup to it? If they add a markup to it, who is paying for it? YOU.


  • If I want to buy wine from you it will now cost $15-17 if I wanted to get that wine and if you wanted to supply it. How is that cost not being passed directly to the consumer and ultimately being paid by the consumer? If you paid the tariff price and kept the retail price the same then that would be a whole different situation, but that isn’t going to happen. The end customer will pay the excess.
