Ah, your information about Nike isn't quite right.

Nike has never had factories... or they technically do but just in the US for the air bubbles in the shoes. Nike was originally just an importer of shoes from Japan, and then eventually they moved to have their own designs made in factories owned by other companies in China and Vietnam. When the news broke in the 70s, and then again in the 90s of sweatshop conditions in those factories (that they never owned) they themselves started inspecting these factories and refused to do business with any factory that wasn't up to their standards (which included fair wages, proper aged employees, reasonable hours, etc). My understanding is that they solved this problem decades ago, but conservative media still talks about it because they make shoes for a diverse set of customers.

One thing I'm not sure about with the tariffs, is if it applies to finished products or not. If Nike ships shoes from Vietnam but assembles the labels and laces in the US, does the tariff still apply?

I think the answer to a lot of your questions is to increase funding to the IRS, FTC, SEC, etc. So many rich individuals get away with not paying tax in the US because they are too expensive for the IRS to take to court. For every $1 invested into the IRS, it makes back $5-$9 by enforcing the rich to actually pay their fair share. Obviously lots more investment is needed to enforce companies, but the ROI would be very dramatic. The US could fund so much infrastructure and services if they could force individuals and companies to pay what they are supposed to.

Charity organization spending should be scrutinized... and usually a state's attorney general would investigate any wrong doing, but Trump fired a bunch of attorney generals, so I guess crime is legal now.

Musk's DOGE cut funding against so many agencies that were investigating his companies, which also won't be able to investigate any other wrong doing... so sure he can ask about how public servants get rich, but he's literally the person making corruption so much easier. $TSLA stock is way higher than it should be, because his own Musk Foundation is buying call options to pump up the stock, one of the many, many things he was being investigated for, which now, of course, won't be investigated. He told Tucker Carlson that he was going to jail if Trump didn't get in, and this is what he was talking about.

I don't cry about corporations coping tariffs either, but all those additional costs at every step of the supply chain get passed onto the consumer, so the people living paycheck to paycheck are the ones that will suffer the most.
