Is there any chance that companies are using the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices when they wanted to anyway? Like a lot of these companies have more money than God already. They could eat the extra cost and be fine. Seems like they’re just being greedy to me.
Of course some could, but if everyone is impacted then why would they eat the cost? Also they can add a few percentages and blame it on tarrif.

"We understand the blocked canal, shuttered factories, and overall stagnant supply chain is a problem but we will work together in this crisis"

"Sorry inflation. Record profits? No inflation"
