I keep hearing this logic, but is not like the companies asked for it.

The politicians did this. They could pass a law tomorrow forcing the companies to refund windfalls from the illegally levied taxes.

This doesn't justify them double dipping. Raising prices on consumers to cover tarrif costs and then getting refunded for tarrif costs isn't ethical no matter who caused the tariffs.

Consumers didn't ask for this either, so are we going to see year-long sales from companies?
