I continue to believe that the gambit by the SC will be that they rule them illegal (meaning no more collection), but that tariffs paid to date are water under the bridge (meaning no refunds). Companies will surely sue for redress, but they’ll likely fail once the first case gets up to the SC.

Slightly diminish a band.

There is only one sentence in that whole thing that I believe to be the truth, and that’s the line about the vehicle driving away.

Same. And that was longer ago than I want to admit.

Totally agree. In some ways, the hardest challenge of the Trump regime will be having the national resolve and fortitude to do what will be necessary to fix the damage and prevent a repeat after he’s gone.

Bloated is no exaggeration either. The recent crop of full-sized SUVs (Tahoe, Expedition, Escalade, etc al) are all friggin HUGE. I just don’t see the appeal of driving something that big.

Has anyone confirmed that you can’t just click the black redaction boxes and delete them? Seems like a mistake these idiots would make.

I’m nearly certain it only requires verified transfer of possession to the end customer. In my previous life I bought millions of dollars in tech hardware, and there could sometimes be a long lag from receiving to installing.

As soon as the oral arguments were done I prognosticated that they’d find a way to strike them down, but do so date-forward as of the ruling date (meaning no refunds of revenue already collected). The foot-dragging would seem to support this prediction, but we’ll see.

That dude’s never getting convicted.

Indeed. This is like the whole Epstein thing - if someone did something bad/illegal, they should be held accountable!

Trunk delivery > home delivery (if you can)

Especially with QFC in these parts, it’s actually cheaper to shop online and do pickup than to go and pick/buy the same stuff yourself in the store.

A former colleague from way back essentially did this very thing in the early aughts. He knew he was going to leave the company the following year, so funded his FSA sufficient to cover the LASIK procedure he wanted to get. Got surgery in January, left in early Feb. Bingo, nearly free LASIK.

I hope that you’re right, but nothing I have seen come out of this court in the last several years makes me believe that they care one whit about history, precedent, or the harms that ruling in Trump‘s favorite will cause. If they intended to uphold the decision, they wouldn’t take up the case.
