In Europe, prices show the price INCLUDING sales tax (VAT, typically 20%). What you see is what you pay at the register.
In the US, prices show the price BEFORE sales tax (national average circa 7%). You pay 7% more at the register than what you saw.
I wonder if we could update US pricing so that the tariff was collected at the cash register, just like sales tax is, so that people could see that they were the one paying the tax.
yes, I see the obvious practical difficulties with this. It is a though experiment, nothing more.
