Companies passed the tarrifs onto the consumer through increased prices, so now that those companies got refunded, are they passing those refunds onto the consumer also? No, they are pocketing them.

They are profit driven, so of course they do. The only remedy is for the consumer to stop buying at the inflated price. Then prices will come down.

Agree...

But also funny that people who pronounced these tariffs woudln't be passed onto the consumer are asking why the consumers aren't getting the refunds.

Anyone with half a brain knew companies weren't going to absorb the tariffs on their own. The goal is to find the balance that drives manufacturing back into the US, but doesn't hurt the consumer. Is there one, who knows

Interesting.

Think about how many on the left were going insane over Trump's Tariffs, so the courts ruled against the POTUS and the refunded money goes back to the corporations the left generally hate.
