Page 2: Held: IEEPA does not authorize the President to impose tariffs.

Page 3: The Framers gave “Congress alone” the power to impose tariffs during peacetime.

Page 10: Judge Cunningham concurred (for four judges), reasoning that IEEPA did not authorize the President to impose any tariffs.

And so on. They were pretty clear that Congress would need to give an explicit, individualized authority to impose tariffs and they cite several laws and prior opinions that use broad language that they still struck down including Biden trying to dismiss education loans. Whatever route he chooses, to be legal, will need to a specific and limited power deferred to the Executive by Congress.

Correct. They can use Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 or Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974. This is by no means the end of these counterproductive tariffs.

SCOTUS also ruled on the major questions doctrine he can’t just turn around and call these blanket tariffs sec 232 tariffs which he probably still will do but basically he could only do tariffs per country per commodity and if he’d just say all that would trigger the major questions clause again while they didn’t strike down all tariffs power the didn’t exactly make it very easy on him either

For the backend, this is my preferred choice. I have had to deal with a large AWS app that was written EXACTLY how AWS tells you to do it. It is slow as hell because it is too much scripting language. For services that you pay by the millsecond, why would you not want speed?

Write the backend in Go or C# or Java. Your frontend can be all JS or Python.

So you are saying that we are not in a free market, capitolist economy? That the government gets to tell businesses what to charge? Sounds like you are a socalist. Either the US is Free Market or it is not. Should we dictate the cost of iPhones next? How about cars? Why should the medicine companies be teated differently than any other company?
If you do not like the health care system, which is based on profit, then you might want to vote for people that will change the system.

Did you actually read his EO? He is trying to tell OTHER COUNTRIES what they can charge/negotiate for drugs. That is not going to work out well.

So your saying someone or some group of very rich people gamed the system and won? I am shocked! Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

Are people mad bacuse they could not do it with their limited funds? Did Texas not profit by this? It is more or less that the state lotteries do not want you to know it can be done. Almost like the day traders getting hoodwinked by the speed traders in the market. Again, money has the advantage to make more money.

No, these are all inside jobs. All these exchanges were set up to relieve people of their money. Watch the C-level execs magically disappear into anonymous retired bliss

To retire with their ill gotten gains, they need to sell them. As has been proven, the FBI ( or any other agency) can trance the transactions from the blockchains and thus find who "stole" the bits.

You did just explain the model of a pyramid scam, a ponzi scheme... and that's all that cryptocurrency is.

"Making money" in cryptocurrency means finding a bigger fool to sell too. The goal of EVERY cryptocurrency holder is to cash what they had out into real money and leave some other sucker holding the bag. And that's why it's collapsing so hard right now - it hit the point where there are no "bigger fools" left to create another layer of the pyramid.

Thus the last fool holding the bag.
