Trump Administration Prepares Tariff Exemptions in Bid to Lower Food Prices
Iβm confused. I thought placing tariffs on foreign goods didnβt raise prices on consumers because, according to the Trump Administration, consumers donβt pay the tariffs. Has something changed? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/u...

I once hired a guy whose former life involved being a restaurant manager. He had a falling out with the restaurant owner after he failed to insist on receiving a piece of the revenues from the cigarette machine vendor. Corrupt leaders expect corruption from everyone on down the line.

Call me naive, but how do you create a cause of action retrospectively? If something was proper at the time, how can legislation, after the fact, make that action now subject to liability? Going forward, I understand. Past behavior???
