nice article on tariffs oozing/seeping into our "checkbook" ( who uses a checkbook, lol ).
Nice little wordplay by Callie, tariff-fied, lol

Easy to read table in the article, listing price increases by different sectors/goods.

"Those tariff threats feel a bit like a mirage, don’t they?

Sure, Wall Street says tariffs are about to bite your wallet. But they said that last week. And the week before that, too."

"You may not have encountered a “tariff tax” situation in your life yet.
Regardless, somebody’s paying for tariffs.
tariff collections have jumped from $9 billion to $28 billion per month this year,
boosting the effective tariff rate to around 10% – near the highest in a century."
