    As an American, I hope the pain that these companies experience translates to strong and direct pressure on our politicians to grow a fucking spine against the dictator.

          Pfft, just watch, it will be an excuse to fire people in droves/cut wages while executives either get raises for “bold” responses or golden parachutes. Day traders will adore the volatility at the expense of retirement funds. Under duress, companies will merge like crazy since the only barrier now seems to be complying with government ethos. Reduced capital gains will juice the market. The masses will shoulder tariffs.

            Saw it in my company yesterday. Outsource an entire department that seemed like the last place you would outsource.
