About this episode
The episode discusses tariff refunds following a Supreme Court ruling, the implications for businesses, and covers various economic topics including job reports and tech layoffs.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has begun processing applications for tariff refunds after the Supreme Court ruled against swaths of President Trump’s import taxes. But limitations on who can file have left some business owners out of luck, and those who are eligible must weigh how much of the refund they should pass down the line. Also on the program: the jobs report, tech layoffs, and what the Spirit Airlines shutdown could mean for a Florida airport. Plus: a look into Sparrow’s Nest Studio, Manhattan’s “home for mahjong.” Every story has an economic angle. Want some in your inbox? Subscribe to our daily or weekly newsletter.
