The fact of the matter is, if you are satisfied with the cost of the product your buying, buy it; if not, don't buy it.

My 325gal home propane tank started to leak last week. All the suppliers had in stock for a replacement were 500 and 1000gals. I needed a new tank right then. All three companies I called said 8 months ago the price of a 500 gal US made tanks jumped from $1400 to $2000 overnight. I didn't have a choice, I had to buy it. The tariff cost ME $600.

Someones lying to you. Tariffs aren't 43%. Someone took advantage of your misfortune big time.

Nobody is lying to me. The US steel manufacturers took advantage of the tariff and jacked up their prices

You want to buy a bridge?
By your own admission, it wasn't tariffs, it was someone taking advantage of you; and you bought anyway.
The price of steel went up 6.2% in the last 8 months Clicky
someone else got the other 36%
