      Fascists executing people on the street = evil

      Company that sells stuff that never goes on sale = evil

    More than 1000 companies also have sued the US government

    I think it‘s past 2000 at this point and growing. This is huge.

    Companies suing the government for taxes that they just pass on to consumers is both the bread and the circuses of the modern age.

      I think that Nintendo did not pass on the tariff to consumers in this situation meaning that they have literal monetary damages. At least, that’s the rumor.

    Heh… It will be a very very long time before any of these companies see a thin dime of that tariff money back…if ever.

      No no. They will give the money back to the corps. The people who spent that money won’t see it.

      The point might be injunctions and judicial record, they might know they’re not getting their money back.
