This article and these lawsuits both seem like manufactured outrage designed to either enrich a few lawyers or blame and distract from another more fundamental injustice, which is the tariffs themselves. Almost everyone on this forum buys retail products, and every American’s purchases were affected by tariffs. This article claims the victims feel “rage” about this. Have you ever felt rage for prices going up due to goods becoming more expensive? I could believe that. If so, was that rage aimed at the retailer who was forced to pay more for the imported goods, or to the person who imposed them? Weird, but okay. If so, assuming the retailers were the target of your “rage”, did you become further enraged when you learned that the unconstitutional tariffs collected were being sought to be refunded by the people who were forced to pay them? What political Venn diagram are we in now? And lastly, do you shop at Costco or were marketed to by Costco? If so, you would be the single person in the world that might be able to claim you are the enraged victim here. It doesn’t make sense. I’ve talked to plenty of people who are mad about tariffs, or mad at capitalism, and certainly mad at Trump. But it’s rare to find a Costco member that thinks Costco is treating them unfairly. They’re kinda famous for the opposite in a sea of exploitive retailers. (They are “famous” for never doing loss-leader shenanigans or charging more than limited markups of 11-14% on any product.) Hell, Costco is the only retailer that wouldn’t surprise me if they turned around and gave ME a tariff refund if they are successful. To literally sue a company for seeking refunds to levied taxes that were declared illegal, appears to be some combination of victim blaming, political distraction, or more likely: convenient enrichment for class action mills.
