Not only will the consumers never see a dime of any of the money if it's refunded, the companies aren't going to lower prices because you've already absorbed the price shock.
Right. Everything today is about softening you up. They say, we will kill you—and you panic—then they roll it back to just losing an arm, and you’re happy about it.
Like a frog in boiling water.
Is that how frogs are cooked? Like a lobsters?
It’s a common myth that frogs will stay in boiling water if the water is heated slowly enough. They can sense heat and will most definitely attempt to escape.
The original test had frogs brains removed. A brainless frog will not jump out of water when the temperature is slowly increased. If you increase the temperature quickly though, even a brainless frog will react to temperature change out of raw reflex.
Trying to get a frog to stay where you want it is difficult regardless of water temperature.
Not if you put a lid on!
No, they’ll still attempt to escape.
The heavy lid of tariffs 😬
I haven’t even heard that as a common myth. Lobsters, yes. We are lobsters. Frogs? Perhaps very obese frogs
It's a misunderstanding of an old experiment where frogs were lobotomized before being exposed to the slowly rising temperature of the water.

Fascinating. People are sick though.
It’s far more of a metaphor than it is an actual cooking technique
If you’re going to eat me, please kill me first. Then, Bon appétit!
