        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.

          Yeah, but he does that randomly anyway, so why even bother paying attention?

          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.

          American companies doing this is nothing new, the issue was raised when these deals were signed.

          Our only response is to ban the sale of their vehicles until it’s paid back.

            There is nothing to pay back, these were production based tax credits. They see no $ if they don’t make cars here.

      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.

        of course they did. No one gets federal money without audits and milestones. Focus back on haircuts and socks, because you have no idea how these deal work.

        Seeing as neither of us know the details, we’ll see.

        But if the money was given to invest here, and they withdraw their investments, even without a specific penalty clause that can be breach of contract and have damages.

        WTFF is this screed? A deal signed before the naziamerican diaper shitter came back? Does our liddle con man have some hurt fee-fees because there was no clause written in for every possible eventuality?

        Go emigrate, ungrate.
