    You can’t take our money and leave.

    If you take a deal, fulfil your end of the bargain.

        I’m 95% sure Trump will go and throw a hissy fit about any fine these companies face and we won’t recoup it — with threats of annexing us again and boosting tariffs to some new more than 100% number.

        So you can save some of your disgust for later in the week.

          If America puts 100% tarrifs on every country it will implode. As countries stand their ground it will continue to be tarrif musical chairs. As that continues more countries will plan to trade elsewhere as it is too chaotic and unreliable.

      The problem is the Liberals put no clause in to deal with this situation. They cant retroactively make a law against their own stupidity for signing a bad contract, the best they can do is arbitrarily punish them, sending the signal we operate our country not by laws but like North Korea. Companies would need to factor that into their risk metrics.
