Tariffs Catch-All

What now with the tariff shelf about to be empty?

 

[mpaer]

I am okay with tariff's being returned to those that paid them
Impossible for a court to say how much MPAER should get back

$700 million a month in interest

DOGE should look into this waste.

The “no can do” defense

“… CBP, in a court filing, cited its existing technology, processes and manpower requirements as the reasons it could not immediately comply with the conditions of Judge Richard Eaton’s order on the so-called IEEPA tariffs.…”

My company is headquartered in Texas. I have my beliefs as to how the ELT voted...

But every meeting over this last year discusses how tariffs have cost the company money and changed the strategic planning.

It really bothers me that I'm sure they voted for this shit.

I assume-with little knowledge-that is a way to invoke some random all but dead law to call for Tarriffs?

It is, but the law is neither random nor all but dead. It's been used a few times recently and not only by Trump, IIRC. Obama used it for Chinese tires, if I recall correctly.

I sure wish Callatoroy was here to explain if this was one of the good tariffs he supports, or one of the bad ones. And what the difference is.
