Indeed. And the concept of passing any refund on is just untenable. My example is to highlight how unreasonable such an expectation is.

And while this specific tariff situation is silly, and annoying, it's been going on forever. There were cases of tariffs on lumber from Canada, with presidents of all stripes. Some were fought, won in court, and nary a person questioned "where is the refund for the consumer".
