  • Tariff Question

    From Ed P@21:1/5 to All on Sat Mar 8 15:39:25 2025
    Some weeks back I bought some frozen scallops from Wild Fork foods. So
    far, I had two serving from it, tonight I'll have another and one more
    left. When I took them out of the freezer, I noticed that they are
    labeled "Product of Canada"

    Half way through this $22 purchase, a 25% tariff on goods from Canada
    has been imposed.

    My questions:
    Tariff on the two servings is $2.75. Do I pay it all at once or pay
    when I cook each serving?

    Do I make the check payable to President Trump or to his boss, Elon Musk?

    There may be other members of the oligarchy that would gladly take your
    money. It doesn't really matter. You're going to make America great.

    Yes, it makes me feel good to pay higher prices.If it makes a wealthy
    person even more wealthy, it is well spent.

    To be sure you don't get into trouble, you should pay $2.75 to both of
    them. You can make up for it by cheating a little on your income tax,
    because IRS won't have enough people to check everything Since musk
    fired them.
