They increased prices on consumers to pay for the tariffs, this is known. The consumer collective paid for it, the consumers should be refunded directly, the consumers paid the price, not the megacorps (the largest benefactor from this).
In the end, there will be no attempt to force the corporations to repay the consumers. We gave up on treating humans as important in the face of corporations at some point in the 1980s. From that point forward, corporations and the ultra-wealthy who found them, have been deemed far more important than consumer class individuals. The government being forced to hand money back to the corporations will most likely be fine and dandy. Anything beyond that? No go. Consumers are fodder, cattle for the collective to harvest. There is no need for concern. The system is working precisely as designed.
Drain the middle class and down. Feed the upper class and the government.
Stop acting like the problem wasn't implementing the tariffs in the first place in an entirely chaotic and arbitrary manner to extort deals that favor the Trumps.
You're not a victim because you paid more for a laptop, you first world problem cry baby. The only rational thing to do when crazy people took the economic helm was start saving money and spending less. Stop crying about some abstract class problem when the corrupt policy at the root of this was so crystal fucking clear. If you spend all you take in and have no savings, then I truly feel for you, I have been there, three OD charges in one day, waiting for payday to turn my phone back on, just getting raked by calling cards, ATM fees, cellular overages, it fucking sucked. We definitely need to reduce wealth disparity, and protect people from being preyed on, but you are not trapped in some consumer class. You fuckers better all vote, instead of rolling over and bitching like someone else is supposed to fix shit for you.
