It appears auto news has archive.ph defeating tech. (This comment used to contain a link, but the link was useless.)

Surprised Pikachu - you mean to tell me that tariffs didn’t result in manufacturers happily deciding to ramp up domestic production and creating more jobs for Americans in need? Who’d have thunk.

Unpredictable tariffs specifically. Even if one disagrees with tariffs, you can still roll them out in a predictable and legal manner. Cooking up a national emergency then changing them arbitrarily is a recipe for disaster.

Legally they don't seem to be valid either (how does an emergency require tariffing the entire world?), but of course the federal courts are letting them stay in place while it works its way up to SCOTUS.

Well said. Thanks for the clear distinction!

The fact that a hair-thin majority has managed to seize an inordinate amount of power, thwart all checks and balances, and enact a slow-moving nationwide pogrom should be enough to make the US a pariah for any foreign investment. There's no assurance that the US won't just outright steal all foreign capital in the country next week.

I worry a degree of cronyism can go on for a while until there's a true consequence to these policies. There is a lot of wealth and trade to divide the spoils of between the billionaires and the administration.

If the current structure stands, where steel imports are tariffed at 50% but Mexican/Canadian autos have no tariffs, and Japanese imports are only tariffed at 15%, the consequence will be the firing of every auto manufacturing worker the US and the shutdown of every auto factory. The consequences will be cruel and fair.

The only reason it is not already happening is because of the TACO phenomenon and the possibility that the courts will intercede to stop the wanton abuse of emergency tariff powers.

I hate to say it, but it seems an utter economic collapse would be the best way out of the administrations dumb positions on trade and immigration?

Otherwise, like a zombie, these dumb policies will come back over and over any time the GOP is in power until we remember how foolish they are.
