Trump tariffs and the debate over economic damage and who pays

A user who expected Trump’s tariffs to be disastrous said they saw no noticeable harm to the U.S. economy, pointing to business activity, consumption, unemployment and stocks. One reply said a Canadian mattress firm that a relative buys from was building a North Carolina factory to avoid tariffs. Another argued that foreign sellers absorb tariff costs because they must compete for U.S. demand.

Separately, a user described shared visuals as panic-buying of Indian groceries and vegetables before tariffs took effect, then posed a hypothetical about supermarket prices doubling once stocks ran out.
