Was it not the end consumer who paid those tariffs?? Frankly, I'd rather it be given back to the business at least, but let's not pretend that they didn't extract it from their customers. End it so that other companies can't as easily gouge based on the idea of tariffs.

Yes, the business just collected it. However, it would also depend on whether they upped their prices to do so.

When do Trump and the magats drink the poison koolaid? I’m getting impatient
I don't think that happens until command gets forced into the bunker and the army is defeated.
75-85 million people died before that happened
Hrm, 77 million people voted for him...

Hoping for Trumplethinskin to kick the bucket soon. It'll be a doozy. I can barely contain myself watching the news of him looking decrepit.
And the prices? Oh nothing will fundamentally change 😉
How much of that will be pocketed by his cronies because the rules for payout were vague enough for their random LLC.
Lutnick's company has been literally buying up claims to these tariff refunds for pennies on the dollar.

AKA: Trump's standard delaying tactic whenever he gets ruled against.
Appeal everything no matter how ridiculous, just to waste time and allow him to keep doing whatever shitty thing for a few more months/years until all appeal venues are exhausted.
The Businesses didn't pay the tariffs, We did.
Seeing that our Judicial branch is limping along, and at least attempting to curtail this march toward totalitarianism, gives me hope.
I'll be pleasantly surprised if this happens.
He regularly ignores court orders with zero consequences. He has empirically proven that the courts can say whatever they want but he doesn’t have to listen.
Around $6000 to my small business. I’m sure the Supreme Court will side with Trump though.
Private sector vs public sector ... in the US ... Okay ...........
No worries , you have a supreme court good at ruling by vibe.
Republicans are so fucking stupid. They imposed a stupid tax on all of us.

Increasing the uncertainty is not necessarily beneficial either. Businesses won't want to keep changing their pricing. People don't want to plan their purchases around whether tariffs are likely to change up or down in the future. Their instinct will be to wait.
The tariffs were illegal in how they were implemented but Congress could easily do it and would follow his instructions as they have done before.
It's a shit show, as expected.

Yeah F that.
American consumers need to get the refund, not the corporations.
