A quick definition of tacit law:

Tacit law is a type of law that is not written down in a book or created by a government. Instead, it comes from people's agreement or consent. It is like an unspoken rule that everyone follows because they believe it is the right thing to do. For example, when you go to a friend's house, you take off your shoes before entering. There may not be a law that says you have to do this, but it is a tacit law that everyone follows to show respect for the friend's home.

A more thorough explanation:

Tacit law is a type of law that is not written down in a statute or legal code, but is instead based on the consent and customs of a society. It is a law that is understood and followed by people without being explicitly stated.

For example, in some cultures, it is considered rude to speak loudly in public places. This is not a law that is written down, but it is a tacit law that is understood and followed by members of that society. Similarly, in some workplaces, there may be an unwritten rule that employees should dress professionally. This is another example of tacit law.

Tacit law is important because it helps to regulate behavior and maintain social order, even in situations where there may not be a specific law or rule in place. It is based on the shared values and customs of a society, and is often enforced through social pressure rather than legal consequences.

Here's a fairly well respected estimate fruitybat: The proposed tariffs could cost consumers an additional $2,500 to $7,600 a year per household, according to estimates, said Jonathan Gold, vice president of supply chain and customs policy for the National Retail Federation.

blue collar trump voters are gonna blame anything but him anyway when the price of their household consumption goes through the roof. I wonder how they'll spin that narrative.
