"No one's going to build a factory based on a tariff that's on on Monday, off on... Tuesday, the president's changed his mind by Wednesday, he gets hormonal by Thursday and someone says something nasty in the middle school cafeteria on Friday and they're back on again."

1. SCOTUS is dragging its heels on ruling about the legality of Traitors emergency power to impose tariffs. Im guessing theyre desperately trying to figure out a way to fabricate a rationale in order to stabilize his insane TACO gyrations so corps WILL contemplate building manufacturing facilities here.
2. Even IF SCOTUS manages to contort the law to give Traitor this power, after the Hyundai plant raid, why would any corporation trust that their workers are safe?
