Who pays a tariff fully depends on whether there is a substitute supplier or buyer. The columnist confidently declares buyers pay for tarriffs. Yes, they do, if there is no alternative supplier anywhere on Earth who sells a comparable product. Bu…

I for one am glad that my pay is based on my contribution to the organization. It's not based on my race. To base pay on race alone is abhorrent.

Is it just me or is "The Emerson Collective" an unbearably pretentious and disingenuous attempt to put a fig leaf over corporate wealth afforded to her by Steve and other shareholders/buyers like me? Why is it wrong to say "we are a corporate funde…
