The U.S. Supreme Court just delivered a major ruling on tariffs, and while the decision was grounded in constitutional authority, American consumers have already felt its effects at the checkout counter.
In this breaking news edition of The Happe Hour, host David Happe breaks down what the Supreme Court actually decided, how tariffs quietly drove up prices on everyday goods, and why those costs showed up so fast in retail pricing. Using clear, real-world examples, David explains how ad valorem tariffs work, why many people misunderstood their impact, and how higher costs became embedded in products long before the Court weighed in.
This episode connects the dots between trade policy, consumer prices, and supply chain behavior. It also looks ahead at what the ruling may change, what it will not, and why retailers and manufacturers are now moving faster to adapt.
If you have noticed higher prices, shrinking packaging, or fewer product options, this episode explains why.
The Happe Hour is hosted by David Happe, a consumer commerce and retail expert who has sold over one billion dollars in products into U.S. retail channels.
