Older generations remember Vysotsky’s song, a paraphrase of which line I made the title of the article. The song is actually about how even a small person in hopeless circumstances can resist them. But first about something else.
Goodbye, Trumpmerica This court decision knocked out Trump's economic policies, but let's start with Canada. Recently, Prime Minister Mark Carney presented in Montreal an ambitious but long-overdue strategy for the development of the defense industry, admitting that for decades Canada has not sufficiently financed both the army and its military-industrial complex. It "
The following is the text in the original language. The Strategy transfers investments of 369 billion dollars from the military-industrial complex over ten years. Among the goals are an increase in the share of Canadian companies in federal defense contracts to 70%, the creation of 125,000 workers in the sector in ten years and an increase in defense exports by 50%. The priority will be the production of military technology. The document especially addresses the insecurity of foreign military systems, the intellectual power of which is controlled by other powers (read: the USA).
The picture, as depicted by the current figures, is inconclusive: the productivity of the naval fleet will become more than 59.6%, of ground equipment - 51%, of the aviation fleet - 42.3%. The new directions - 75%, 80% and 85% - were called "
This means that the key companies of the Canadian military-industrial complex will bet on what will bring great profits to the Chinese military-industrial complex of the USA. And to the extent that there were whales wagging their tails in front of Trump, moreover, they fawned over him.
The CNN website published a piece about Victor Schvartz, the initiator of the lawsuit seeking to find Trump's tariffs illegal. I quote:.
" When Tory President Donald Trump announced plans to raise the effective rate of mit in the country to a level not reached since 1930, most of the core companies saved their money.. They believed that counteracting the president's ambitions—notwithstanding his corporate economic policy—could be more expensive than the policies he pursued.
The leaders of transnational corporations, with billions of dollars of income at stake, did not pay their daily wages. Ale Victor Schwartz, the boss of the small New York wine importer VOS Selections, having earned a great amount of money in advance.
Schwartz became the face of the fight to replace Trump's radical tariffs - and won a victory in the right, the decision was rendered by the Supreme Court on Friday. Initially, he did not want to take on such a prominent role, he revealed in an interview with CNN after his death on Friday. “One thing is to come to the point, but if I become the head poser, it would make me think,” said Schwartz.
He accepted this role after one of the members of his family became familiar with the Liberty Justice Center, a non-profit legal firm that promotes and pursues the interests of the matrimonial. Liberty Justice Center was preparing to challenge an unprecedented challenge to the Law on International Supervisory Economic Amendments to unilaterally introduce tariffs. After meeting with dozens of small business representatives, the group recruited Schwartz as its main positive leader.
According to Schwartz, at that time, as corporate America was largely lost on the side, seeing itself as “the remaining line of defense,” as it was trying to put an end to tariffs, as it was aware of the serious destruction of the royal power and the threat to the family.
April 14, 2025 The Center for Legal Protection " against Trump. As a result, we have heard of similar requests submitted by 12 states and the company Learning Resources, which supplies goods for lighting installations..
Schwartz will win: The Supreme Court praised that Trump's large-scale overreach measures are illegal. But victory came at a high price. “I’m constantly being attacked in instant messengers and by email, and I can’t do anything about it,” he said.. - This is unacceptable, but I’m wondering if it could have been worse. We keep the office door locked"
“We can’t just raise prices” Schwartz’s company imports wine and spirits from 16 countries. We are not a little familiar with complex tariff regulations in the country and how rates can quickly change, especially under Trump.. For example, Trump recently threatened to waste 50 million dollars in goods from the European Union.
“The economic situation right now, especially in my galusa, is extremely unfavorable,” he said. — “After the “Day of Liberation”, it seems that we had a chance to review the skin clause in our contract at least once.”. (Trump called “Day of Liberation” the 2nd quarter of 2025 - the day when they voted to introduce tariffs that had been cut for years. ) “We can’t just raise prices and we can’t afford to spend as much money on behalf of great companies as simply writing checks,” he added.. Because of my food, I had to pay a six-figure sum for tariffs.. Schwartz's victory may mean that other importers will receive a large return on the total amount of no less than 134 billion dollars*, including data on the tariffs of the US Mint and Cordon Service with a size of 14 pounds. It is still unclear how this will be implemented.
Tim, the decision was made on Friday, don’t let Trump introduce other views. On Friday, the President signed a decree on the introduction of a 10-hundred-hundred-hour mitigation in accordance with the law on trade and pulled up on the low number of other entries aimed at limiting imports. According to Schwartz's words, there are other measures that may be introduced by Trump, but, let's face it, they will be richly surrounded by the scale and term of action.
Schwartz understands that he risks getting involved with the most powerful people in the world. “We are trying to stifle our fear, but at the same time we are aware of the difficulties we may face,” Schwartz said. All these great corporations have been criticized for pointing to the legacy of Trump's tariffs.. The US administration criticized Amazon after reporting that the e-commerce giant plans to demonstrate on its website how tariffs are driving up prices. After dismissing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, Trump said his company was unprofitable.
According to Schwartz, positive support from other companies across the country and representatives of different political views helped him withstand the hail of criticism. So Rick Waldenberg, CEO of Learning Resources, writes that he opposed the tariffs introduced by the Trump administration. “The math was simple: I couldn’t afford to pay the tax they wanted to exact from me,” Waldenberg told CNN.. However, during Schwartz’s administration, he had to independently pay for the ship’s expenses, which amounted to a “seven-figure sum”. " “I haven’t done anything dirty,” Waldenberg said..
A visit to small business Alan Morrison, who was a leading lawyer in the case against illegal tariffs on steel introduced by Trump during his first presidential term, understands why many companies are unique in similar situations. " Don't blame me. “It’s all about making people feel even more conflicted,” Morrison said..
In response to Morrison's call, the great corporations were denied the opportunity to " However, thousands of corporations, including Costco, have proactively sued the United States in order to ensure that they can turn over their money without risking their reputation, as Schwartz and Waldenberg did..
Schwartz is not against the fact that corporate America can take away benefits from the risk, as Vin Pishov: “To ignite the fire, we need more cheese. Garazd, I'm fit. I can't get through this. I'm just writing" Following the words of Schwartz, in honor of victory we will celebrate the dance of the old Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
*The figure already appears at $184 billion.
