get away with it and they had the pandemic as an excuse.

That's why -- we as consumers (the buying public) and we know the pre-tariff price we've been paying for an item - when they start jacking around with the post-tariff pricing - we can report the difference of how much more we're now paying for the same item.

If the rich businessmen and merchants won't report the tariff pricing - we're going to have to report that info ourselves.
