Spending nights figuring out which tariffs apply to which imported goods is surely a well spent time for any business owner.

Yeah, complicated, costly and always changing regulations are great for doing business... /s

Complicated, costly, and, as it turns out, illegal.

We’ll see what the Supreme Court says, or what happens after he shuffles the deck a few times and yells at people more. :s

The underlying issue is complete chaos and confusion caused by this situation, not just any specific actual Tariff or not.

I think this won't be the last thing up Krasnov's (well the Project 2025 lawyers anyway) sleeve, I do think the SCOTUS will shoot down the tariffs though.
