The Dick from the Internet Jason, admitted yesterday for the first time that tariffs don’t necessarily get passed on to consumers, just like I’ve been saying for weeks, and he incredulously claimed that “no one” ever said that they necessarily did, after repeatedly stating that the tariffs will impact prices. Here is the relevant part of his comment –

Tariffs get “eaten” by exporters so they are irrelevant.
Tariffs are not a tax on consumers.”

Now Jason, the HHR self acknowledged Dick from the Internet, admits prices “don’t necessarily get passed on to consumers”, like I have said numerous times, exporters do at times “eat” tariffs when they don’t pass them on to consumers , and tariffs are not necessarily a tax on consumers because they don’t always get passed on. Wow. This is classic Dick from the Internet conduct. Way to go Jason! You are that guy in the comic strips! Everyone knows you! What a stupid Dick.

Fla,
Everybody (8 of us) puts a dollar in the pot at beginning of the day.
We keep tally of the individual bridge scores during the day.
We also have to put in 2 cents into a separate pot for each TRICK we go down and fail to make the bid. The two set pots for the two tables usually have anywhere from 75 cents to $l.50. For example, if you go down 3 tricks, that pair of players owe 6 cents each. If the bid was doubled, you have to put in 12 cents each.
Whoever has the best individual bridge score for the whole day gets $5 out of the $8 pot and whoever has the next best individual score gets $3.
Best score is usually around 4400 to 5600. Worst score can be only 1000 or so.
Usually, whoever has the WORST individual score gets the all the pennies in both set pots.
