That tariff money belongs to the consumers not the corporations

AI should be banned - bad for the environment, jobs and the human brain!
Plus it steals billions from the government through corrupt tax breaks!

Accounting tricks ? Remember Enron's accounting tricks were so good in those old days that fooled investors believed in the accounting numbers.... history books are the memories teaching the smart people on Earth to understand the untold stories from the Corporate America media 😂😂😂

Magats out there that still refuse to understand: The US government took your money (illegally, per the SC) and gave it to Apple, Amazon, Ford, FedEX, etc. China did not pay, like someone has repeatedly, relentlessly said they do. He "took in" money from you. YOU paid his tariffs, out of your own pockets.

👋 the other income that’s been reported for Hyperscaler ( IPO Investments ) will that show up in the next reporting season?

Tyson just closed Illinois plant, Utah and Washington state is next very soon. 2 months severence, BUT I BET our Gov will claim UEI went down. PPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

So earnings where artificially boosted so its buy buy buy, but next earnings as you mentioned it will look bad in comparison, will there be a big dip then you think? Could be if the headlines rule, and then maybe a good buy for a bounce once people realize.... until the AI boom comes down, but that might towards the end of 2027 (or even 2028), so could be a nice windows there if this scenario plays out.

Don't be surprised if you get a tariff refund, it would be in the form of store credits or some obscured postcard like mails that they hope it would be lost on the mail or torn up by mistake!!!
@
Everything is a lie and a scam. One day...
@

Thank you for your vids to expose the craziness that companies practice to make finances look good.

You are old enough to remember when your cab drivers gave you stock tips.

Yeah tariffs absolutely got passed onto consumers. Not sure where you came up with that piece
@
The stock market is totally disconnected from the fact that workers earn less (after inflation) and consumer debt is increasing. Valuations are bumped by tax cuts, tariff refunds, automatic 401k retirement investments and the massive wealth increases by the wealthiest 5%.🤔🤥
@
Why isn’t there a class action law suit against corporations for not returning the tariffs?
@
Yep, I got no refunds from tariffs.

The primary role of government is to protect the system by enforcing the rules. Now, the government is the primary contaminator of the completely corrupted system. When the system itself is corrupted, look out.
