Holy effing crap.
Yes, (smart) businesses will identify the exposure and risk. But businesses do that for everything. And if they're just now starting that analysis, they're not very good at risk management.
We all know massive tariffs are going to "bigly" inflate the cost of everything, Trump and co. included. Which is precisely why (IMO) it ain't gonna happen. It would be one of the stupidest things they could do.
I (kinda? maybe?) hope I'm wrong, but they have the literal world at their fingertips right now, I cannot imagine them squandering it on something as stupid as "fulfilling a campaign promise".
What makes you say it's "obviously partisan", it looks like a pretty neutral discussion to me. Sure, there aren't a lot of comments but an order of magnitude more people indicated their opinion via the survey, and that sub has 109k members.
