Tariffs Catch-All

[lawtig02]

I would have used a different image more specific to Trump, but your point is well taken. Unlike his.

What is the status of these tariffs legally? I think there was a nationwide injunction against them, IIRC, but then the Supreme Court said no nationwide injunctions -- so would the tariffs continue to apply to all non-parties, or is this a case where complete relief requires nationwide relief. If there's a plaintiff that isn't an importer but rather a downstream buyer, it could argue that any tariffs that increase the price they pay would injure them, thus they would have standing.

But maybe the supreme court stayed the injunction. I can't even keep track any more.

Because of situations like Covid. China turned off all supply of masks and equipment they made to keep it for them wives. That’s not a way to have a supply chain.

1. But pharma is manufactured everywhere, not just China. I suppose if we piss off everyone in the world, maybe nobody would want to help us but hey, maybe avoid that.

2. We still manufacture pharma here. Why does it ALL need to be here.

3. It's much easier and cheaper to buy a stockpile than to spend godawful amount of resources on duplicative manufacturing.

4. I don't think you understand the benefits of trade.

You wouldn’t want to move all of it here. You’d want a majority here and solid second and third source elsewherez

Apparently all we need for a flourishing America is a network of factories for every conceivable industry.

We were out of toilet paper for about 2 months and that isn’t made in China.

Nope. Not renewable energy.

Pretty sure it was stayed by circuit court or supreme court (or maybe even district court). I think there was some period of time before the order was supposed to go into effect.

It's almost as if Trump doesn't remember Administration 1.0. I guess long COVID can affect mental acuity - that and long syphilis.
