What a heist!

So they admit they bamboozled every consumer that paid higher prices that include the tarriffs….so they can use our refunded tariff money to pay down their debt? F*ck you Steve Madden - you’ll never get another dollar from me ever again.

Yup. President Trump's tariffs were an enormous tax on the American consumer. Full stop.

Corporations were never going to pass those costs back to the people who paid them.

Business: sorry, we have to pass on the tariff costs, we really don’t want to. Then: oh, the tariffs are gone? Extra profit for me!

Did anyone think that big corporations where going to lower the prices after being refunded tariffs? I have a bridge to sell you. 🥴

Biggest winners? Hell, they were the only winners! Kind of looks like this whole tariff thing was planned by the big corporations all along! Corporations should be outlawed and Mom and Pop businesses brought back.

What, no tariff refunds to customers?

that's what their lobbyists paid for.

Just like the biggest winners from the 2008 financial crisis were the same mortgage lenders that sold people shitty adjustable rate and interest only mortgages. Who can forget that massive transfer of wealth to the top. And how did they say thanks for the bail out $? They foreclosed on homes.

That’s not their money

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Of course they did. Consumers need to make it very clear to Steve Madden and all other greedy retailers that “consumer acceptance of price increases” is O.V.E.R. We’re way done with that bullshit.

With a pleasant closing statement to their faithful customers Of "F#ck you very much, and may we continue f#cking you over for years to come.

It’ll be the same with gas prices. Oil prices drop and the gas prices might drop below 4$. But I wouldn’t bet on it.

You nailed the whole loop. Importers get their money back and shoppers just eat the higher prices.

how many customers took on debt as a result of increased prices?

Tariffs imposed. Tariffs collected from importers. Consumers pay increased prices. Tariffs struck down. Tariffs refunded to importers. Consumers get no tariff refunds. Consumers continue to pay increased prices. A very sneaky wealth transfer.

This trickle down BS keeps trickling up!
