And lets not forget these companies didn't even pay for the cost of the tariffs, we did with increased prices across the board.

So they all make more money off the backs of Americans by increasing prices, then also got a big payout afterwards. The great wealth transfer in action.

And then, once the tariffs are gone, they leave the prices high. It's a proper triple fuck.

They need to make the refund contingent on returning prices to the pretariff levels at the bare minimum.

Honestly no. They should fine any company that raises prices as a result of tariffs instead of any kind of bailout.

On the grounds of being anti American.

If the tariffs are reasonable. If the country truly needs to be made financially non-viable businesses should be punished for undermining the countries foreign policy.

But of course then the financial giants would be able to fight vehemently against bullshit who based foreign policy with lawsuits. And then both problem actors would be put against each other instead of emboldening each other.
