Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
Even if the tariffs stop this moment, the prices are already up. They don't go down.
Sure but at least I'll be able to ship things in from Europe without it being fucking hyper inflated. I just want my swedish metal albums damnit.
Ha good point
They do if you force greedy ceo's to put them back down.
When has this happened? Ever? Even United Health kept it's prices up. It did start paying it's share but the prices didn't go down.
FDR was, as far as I know, the last president to use price controls.
Right, so not going back down
no one is going to do that in this administration though.
You sweetheart.
and then issued a 6-3 unsigned order affirming them, without opinion.

I hope /s
1 things is for sure: The money isn't coming back to the consumer. If they have to return any funds it's our taxes that are going up to pay for it.
We get shafted from both ends.
And it should be as clear as constitutional crystal that it wasn't legal to begin with.
I mean, the money that was gathered is a tax, so returning all of it would be a wash.
For the government's books, sure (if anything, it was a 0% interest loan, which is probably better than a wash strictly speaking)
But for society in general - the money was gathered from consumers but will be getting returned to businesses, so not a wash at all
Imagine if SCOTUS stops MAGA from hurting itself in the midterms..
That's what I was speculating. Clearly, SCOTUS can see that the tariffs are hurting America and especially Americans, so this is a backdoor way of taking the ball from Trump for his own good.
That, or they are sick of having to pay more for their morning coffee because Trump wants a better deal for his buddy Bolsonaro.
In that case the 5D move for the lib side of SCOTUS would be to vote for keeping his emergency tariff powers. 😆
Totally would be! Except the power of the National Cabal of Coffee Drinkers is the most powerful lobby in the country and you don't want to end up in their crosshairs.
Aww yeah. Expressed skepticism is just ten, or twenty steps away from a SLAM!
