Let's look at what tariffs hurt the poor the most.

So, I asked AI what tariffs the most.

Low‑income households spend a far larger share of their income on basics. When tariffs raise prices, they have no room to substitute or absorb the increase.

Clothing

• Clothing prices projected to rise 17% under the 2025 tariff package.
• Clothing is one of the most price‑sensitive categories for low‑income families.

Fresh Produce & Groceries

• Fresh produce expected to rise 4% due to tariffs.
• Food is the single largest budget share for the bottom quintile.

Appliances

• Appliance prices already up about 2% in mid‑2025 under tariff pressure.
• Here's a fix. 
• Practical adjustments:
  • Buy clothing secondhand (thrift, consignment, online resale).
  • Substitute frozen or canned produce when fresh spikes.
  • Repair appliances instead of replacing them.
  • Nuff said.
•
