Tariff sticker shock

[Crepitus]

A number of folks are getting lessons in who pays tariffs, and they aren't enjoying the experience.

We tied to tell them who was gonna pay, but they didn't listen, and now they are paying.

Nicholas Gilbert, a dairy farmer who operates Adon Farms in upstate New York, experienced tariff sticker shock when a routine shipment of cow feed from Ontario cost him $2,200 more than expected.

“I’m not even sure it’s legal! We contracted for the price on delivery,” he told The Atlantic. “If your price of fuel goes up or your truck breaks down, that’s not my problem! That’s what the contract’s for.”

Unfortunately for Gilbert, the tariff is very much legal. Like many American business owners, he mistakenly believed that tariffs on imported goods would be paid by the foreign exporter.

"mistakenly"? It's because he was lied to.

Buy made in USA, zero tariffs. He shouldn't be buying from Canada, they are an enemy of the U.S.

So why did he accept the shipment at the higher price?

I imagine Canada will come to terms in a reasonable time period.

The tariffs on China could put us out of business by 2027. All our blood, sweat, and toil could vanish with the stroke of a pen.

That sounds like one dumbass dairy farmer not to have reviewed the contract and ordered from a US supplier well before now.

Let him know that we feel his pain, Canadians have had stick shock for 25 years, especially relative to our salaries.

Police States cost money.

Breaking: Dems oppose tariffs, say we should kick the can down the road while another 5 million American jobs are stolen by other countries who tariff the crap out of our products.

It's the same with the so called business tax but people like you think that's just fairness. Funny how that term fair is thrown around to justify both tariffs and taxes.

Dem vampires SUCK businesses into bankruptcy with taxes and laugh all the way to the bank. Suddenly, they are concerned about businesses

I think you are confused. Businesses pay many taxes, I know of no so called "business tax" and I see no similarities to them paying their taxes and tRump scalping anyone importing something from Canada.

America Alone. That's what they want.

I don't know why, outside of their various mal-informed paranoias. It's certainly not smart economics, but we already know they are macroeconomic illiterates like their New Savior™.
