Doesn't mean we shouldn't do it.

Well, sure, but perhaps some kind of plan is warranted?

Isn't the point of capitalism to not have a plan and let the market figure it out?

How are markets going to figure anything out with tariffs changing every day, depending on the mood of dear leader?

That's a problem for the markets to suss out.

They've sussed out that if you suck up to him he'll give you an exemption. Of course if you are a medium sized business you are screwed and have to wait in line, but you'll get your chance as long as you can hold on through the summer.

In two years of course it won't matter.

It's a very thinly veiled protection racket. People do tend to repeat the plays that they know.
