How Tariffs Fucking Work
The government has done a horrible job explaining this, so let's get into it.

How Tariffs Fucking Work The government has done a horrible job explaining this, so let's get into it. Swipe

1. Tariffs are federal import taxes paid by American businesses directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (part of the Department of Homeland Security).
2. These taxes must be paid by an American company before a shipment of products made overseas can enter the USA.
3. The tax is based on a shipmentโ€™s โ€œvalueโ€ (how much it cost to make the products). If a tariff rate is 50%, and a business wants to import products that cost $500,000 to make, then the business must pay the American government a $250,000 tax before the goods can enter the country.
4. In other words, a shipment that was supposed to cost a business $500,000 now suddenly costs $750,000 due to tariffs.
5. In 2025, Trump often changed these import tax rates while shipments were in transit. His tariffs got as high as 145%โ€”which means businesses were being asked to pay Donald Trump more than the people who actually made the fucking products.

6. Some American businesses literally could not afford to receive shipments they had ordered, because they didnโ€™t have enough cash to pay the unjustified, illegal taxes the government was now demanding.
7. At a tariff rate of 145%, a shipment of products that costs a business $500,000 to make requires a tax payment of $725,000 to import, bringing the total cost up dramatically to $1,225,000. Yowza!
8. American businesses pay Trumpโ€™s tariffs. Other countries donโ€™t pay them. Foreign factories donโ€™t pay them. Trump doesnโ€™t seem to understand this, and he has been misinforming the American people for years.
9. Of course, many businesses passed all their tariff costs onto their customers by raising prices. And now, those companies and their shareholdersโ€“โ€“not the customers who actually paid the tariff costsโ€“โ€“stand to get refunds.
10. Is that fair? We donโ€™t fucking think so: GetYourFuckingMoneyBack.com

Itโ€™s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim โ€œadult illustrationsโ€ is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They donโ€™t have an answer.

In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Interviewer: You might be able to catch some. It's all completely virtual. It's very simple, but it's also an overlay of physically based information that now exists on top of the real world.

Herzog: When two persons in search of a pokรฉmon clash at the corner of Sunset and San Vicente is there violence? Is there murder?

Interviewer: They do fight, virtually.

Herzog: Physically, do they fight?

Interviewer: No-

Herzog: Do they bite each other's hands? Do they punch each other?
