    Sellers in the US need to do a truth in Taxation so Americans will know they are paying a tariff and how much, regardless of which party implemented it.

      I’m going to make a prediction.

      An elected representative will blame post-tariff avocado prices on Mexico and advocate violence.

      Edit: I forgot the important part. People will believe it en masse. To your excellent point.

      Here me out, increase the prices by 30% so tariffs are covered and 5% for the shareholders.
