The fact that they cannot understand this simple concept blows my mind.
quote:

One of SEAL Team 47 members said it would be good for the economy. Which prompts the question 'what did it do for the economy when they got collected?" I think the response was something about voting for Kamala.



Brother tariffs are magic money. When collected they can eliminate the income tax, return manufacturing, and provide for direct refunds to the PEOPLE.

However, the true genius is when they are refunded and put back into the economy as a stimulus.

This is not hard.


This is the correct answer, however,

quote:

A party seeking damages has to prove:

a) they suffered the damage
And
b) the extent of that damage.



OK...here is the receipt, I mean "damages" I incurred through your executive order.

What I paid the exporter for the good, or what I charged to the customer has ZERO bearing on the matter.

The only thing that matters is what I paid, and also, when I paid it because there will be interest attached to this.
This is very simply folks.

Common sense says the solution is to just roll them over to B and carry on. Issuing refunds when Trump has the authority to tariff just because Trump said the wrong number is the height of stupidity.


Please make the stupid stop. The government cannot collect money under an improperly used statute, and then get to say, “my bad, we will use the correct statute now, and we will retroactively apply it so we don’t have refund improperly acquired funds.”

It simply does not work that way. The ONLY way to avoid refunds would be for Congress to retroactively codify Trump’s tariffs. And that ain’t happening.

quote:

If you agree with the refunds, then you simply care more about the process of the law then the law itself and the actual results. It's so mind-numbingly stupid to think that way.


I agree with refunds because tariffs are fricking stupid, but I will confess that there is a certain level of hilarity at the utter incompetence of the Trump administration and how they rolled it out.
quote:

Hope all these companies are prepared for the deep dive into their finances/business practices, because they are going to have to very clearly and convincingly show they didn't pass any of it onto their customers (and exactly how much tariff they paid) to even submit a claim.


Nope. Just a receipt to show they paid the tariffs.

And here’s the beautiful part. These companies will be reimbursed with interest.
quote:

It's almost like this was the plan. But what the hell do I know


No they fricked up. They didn’t want to take the time and do the work to use the proper statutes that authorize tariffs.

And even those statutes have limitations with amounts, timelines etc, and Trump wanted the ability to do whatever he wanted so they chose IEEPA.

And here we are.

No that’s just his new thing. Do some research the man has had more political views than I have had underwear

I just went to his X page. I saw this and a long diatribe obsessed with mossad and Israel being evil. It is bizarre. He can believe what he wants but why do this while the conflict is ongoing? He seems pissed like the media that Iranians are cheering Trump.


I get being critical of Israel, but when all you do is criticize Israel all day, everyday, it’s apparent that something else is at play. Either 1) you are bought by a foreign entity to promote propaganda or 2) well, you are flirting with being anti-Semitic.

Yeah that’s the part that I don’t understand. The minute the school refused to call the child by her given, biological name, that would be when I would announce a family vacay to Florida.
quote:

The fact I refer to is it’s an accurate portrayal of her personality and things she has done. We don’t agree which is fine but I think most people who are willing to be honest with themselves would agree her behavior resembles many of traits that person mentions in their tweet.


So, let’s assume all of what you’re saying is true. Let’s assume Erika is faking her emotions. Let’s assume she is not genuine. Let’s assume she isn’t very nice.

So what? We are still 8 million miles from her orchestrating the assasination of Charlie or having anything to do with it.

It’s no different than people suggesting that because there are pictures of Trump partying with Epstein that he must have murdered and molested kids.

Evidence matters. Facts matter. Truth matters.

All you have is how you feel about something. Think about that for a second.

Well maybe should should stop following politics if it’s so fake, gay and boring

We know. We've been telling you guys since the beginning, but you still push the "there is no good from tariffs" narrative. We've told you from the start what the benefits would be but you kept ignoring it and only focused on the cost increase.


Oh horseshiite. The pro tariff crowd has been the one group that has consistently obfuscated this simple fact. In fact, the case has been made by several pro tariff people that tariffs have ZERO economic consequences and only have positive effects on the economy.

Every single inflation report that was released was cheerleeded as evidence that tariffs cause no harm even when inflation trended back up over the summer.

We were told that tariffs could replace the income tax.

We were told foreign counties would pay the tariffs.

We were told companies would not pass the tariffs costs on if foreign countries didn’t pay the tariffs.

We were told that tariffs could “refinance” our debt.

We were told that tariffs were this unbelievably new thing in the world of economics.

Hell one of the Einsteins even tried to argue that Milton Friedman was advocating for tariffs late in his life.

But never once were we told that there would be an economic trade-off or that there would be adverse economic consequences of the tariffs or how they were implemented.

Never once were we told that job growth would be sluggish or that small business bankruptcies would be at there highest level since the 2008 recession.

Never once was the reality of removing $300 billion from the private sector discussed in a negative light.

Sounds like you should start a consulting company helping business deal with tariffs. Send me your details if you do.


Well, according to Mensa, .all you had to do was spend 4K on an attorney and your tariff exposure would have been completely abrogated.
