Enron also didn't violate GAAP so by your definition, no financial wrongdoings...


The essence of the Enron scandal was the perpetration of accounting fraud. It took down Arthur Andersen. We went from the "Big 5" accounting firms to the "Big 4" because of this. They very much violated GAAP.

Analysis of previous tariffs have found they cost a ton, drive prices up, and increase corporate profits.

The 2018 Trump washing machine tariff raised prices not just for washers but also dryers (12%), and cost $820,000 per job onshored.

A 2012 chinese tire tariff cost $900,000 per job onshored.

It's terrible business.

The first Trump term tariffs on washing machines was studied, it resulted in jobs that cost ~820k each in higher prices to the consumer.

The important takeaway is not only did the consumer pay more, but corporate profits rose.
