I've seen way too many posts blaming price increases on tariffs that never materialized by people who haven't bothered to fact-check either whether the tariff went into effect - or whether the goods referenced are included in any tariffs which actually went into effect.

As for hitting a whole bunch of items along the supply chains - blueberries aren't components of something else, at least not when you're buying a carton of blueberries Any tariff on blueberries is a direct tariff on blueberries, not on the supply chain.

I'm all for tying price increases that are actually attributed to Trump's tariffs to him. But it needs to be a solid connection, not something easily disproven.
