The majority of the sweeping tariffs Donald Trump imposed during his second term face one final litmus test that will determine whether he can continue to levy them – and also whether businesses are eligible for massive refunds.
That potentially dramatic turn in the tariff saga comes after a federal appeals court ruled on Friday that Trump unlawfully leaned on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose across-the-board duties on countries.
Trump had used those powers to push import tax rates as high as 50% on India and Brazil – and as high as 145% on China earlier this year.
It’s a common myth that frogs will stay in boiling water if the water is heated slowly enough. They can sense heat and will most definitely attempt to escape.
The original test had frogs brains removed. A brainless frog will not jump out of water when the temperature is slowly increased. If you increase the temperature quickly though, even a brainless frog will react to temperature change out of raw reflex.
Trying to get a frog to stay where you want it is difficult regardless of water temperature.
Not if you put a lid on!
No, they’ll still attempt to escape.
The heavy lid of tariffs 😬
I haven’t even heard that as a common myth. Lobsters, yes. We are lobsters. Frogs? Perhaps very obese frogs
It’s a misunderstanding of an old experiment where frogs were lobotomized before being exposed to the slowly rising temperature of the water.

Fascinating. People are sick though.
It’s far more of a metaphor than it is an actual cooking technique
If you’re going to eat me, please kill me first. Then, Bon appétit!
