Tariff Justice, Late and Incomplete As the US Supreme Court's February ruling on tariffs came into effect, companies that had absorbed or passed along unwarranted costs began to see some measure of reparation.
Panic, the indie game publisher behind the quirky Playdate handheld console, is one such company. Panic has decided to refund customers who were charged for tariffs imposed by the Trump administration.
This move raises questions about the broader implications of these trade policies. When companies raise prices due to "market conditions" or tariff "uncertainty," it can be tempting to view this as good business sense.
