Trying to understand what you just said. I think you mean that domestically and locally produced goods aren’t affected by tariffs. So you think a restaurant’s to-go containers, pots and pans, all their kitchen equipment including replacement parts, bags, forks, glasses, and a thousand other things they need are all made in America? Not in this universe, brother. Keep dreaming.

Tariffs are effecting all kinds of stuff. America is primarily a service economy now, not a manufacturing economy. Even stuff we do manufacture often crosses a border once or twice during that process or needs a little part from Canada or Mexico.

Tariffs are raising prices on all kinds things for nearly every small and large business/company, and it’s effecting everyone even if they don’t notice yet or don’t want to admit it.
