Yes. That’s a different case to todays case. People should‘ve been bailed out. Trump used his powers wrong and thus the paid tariffs have to be paid back to the importer. If the importer give this back to customers is a different question. Everybody should speak to Walmart et. al. about a this.
Because these companies have ALWAYS responded positively to consumers wishes, its why prices are so low and why we're in a golden age of national production, instead of paying companies to ship products from one country, where they're farmed, to another country to be processed, then another country to be packaged, and finally to their destination where they're sold.
