Backs Quotes

On the weight carried by backs, from budgets to teammates.

Backs quotes here start with economic burden, describing how tariffs and budget decisions often land hardest on the backs of ordinary people. That policy angle connects with our Costs page.

The problem with tariffs is they shift higher costs onto the backs of non-protected industries and consumers.
