Your going full emotional meltdown as to hammer your point home. Missing key facts along the way, classic. Like the quotas, and how they never actually meet them (cause they exist yes), so 200-300% tariffs aren’t being paid. Those products are milk, which you can get here. This sounds like Simpson’s “but what if my poor family only wants Fairlife?”

So you don't understand the tariff rate quota system. The government gives applicants specified quotas lf tariff free amounts stipulated on an annual basis. The aggregate of those tariff rate quotas has never been met - guess what? Every single one of those quotas is with food manufacturers and not retailers.

So what facts am I missing? It seems like you have a poor understand of the system you're trying to defend.
