"tariffs helped stem the flow of cheap goods"

yeah that's my number one fucking concern, being fucking, fucked to death by an overabundance of cheap fucking goods

the best part is they didn't even call them "cheap" with the negative connotations that can have, they just called them "inexpensive"

WaPo owned by Bezos. Amazon is a big beneficiary of tariffs, they get to be the bulk importer middle man not dealing with direct imports via AliExpress.
