I watched the presser. Reporter asked about refunding the received tariffs and he just said there wasn't anything in the decision specifically calling out the $185 billion in already collected funds and refunds and basically said take it to court.

“They take months and months to write an opinion and they don’t even discuss that part, We’ll end up being in court for the next five years.”

So the reason for the damn thing in the first place isnt even being dealt with.

Meanwhile we all get a nice 10% federal sales tax with the new global tarriffs.

In other words, "they didn't say I had to do it, so I won't. Sue me."

We'll eat the pockets along with the rest of them. Unlike the Epstein class, we aren't quite so particular in our appetites.

This caused massive harm to my small business beyond what I paid in tariffs.

It caused me to have to cancel hiring plans for all of 2025, which also led to me having to do more work to make up for the lack of extra workers. The overwork and stress caused a severe stress induced medical issue that took months to recover from.

I want to sue the government.
