Tariffs Pump Cash, Reshoring Pitch Splits Opinion
The U.S. just started collecting another big haul now that the August 1 tariff hikes landed. Even countries that cut new deals with Washington didn't get a passJapan and the EU are still paying 15%. Markets dipped, but stocks barely blinked; they're still close to record highs. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. Importers are the ones writing the checks, and they're coping however they can: passing costs to customers, trimming margins, finding other suppliers, or cutting their own costs. The bottom line is simplethose tariffs are stuffing the Treasury. The White House isn't pretending this is only about money. Trump's pitch is that the pain will pull manufacturing back to U.S. soil, that higher import costs will nudge companies to build here again. That's a big assumption, and people are split. The cash is already showing up: June brought a rare $27 billion surplus, largely thanks to customs duties. Still, the bigger picture is soberingthe U.S. is running a $1.34 trillion deficit year to date, so unless spending gets reined in, the tariff windfall only goes so far. Tariffs are buying time and filling coffers, but whether this becomes a real reshoring story or just temporary noise depends on follow-through and whether Washington pairs revenue with discipline. Watch if the money keeps coming and if spending gets tightened. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

How Mississippians can intervene in natural gas pipeline proposal
Mississippians have until Tuesday to intervene in a proposal for a natural gas pipeline that would span nearly the full width of the state. The pipeline, called the 'Mississippi Crossing Project,' would start in Greenville, cross through Humphreys, Holmes, Attala, Leake, Neshoba, Newton, Lauderdale and Clarke counties and end near Butler, Alabama, stretching nearly 208 miles. Tennessee Gas Pipeline Co., a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, sent an application for the project to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on June 30. The company hopes the pipeline, which would transfer up to 12 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day, will address a rising energy demand by increasing its transportation capacity. Kinder Morgan says on its website that, should it receive approval, construction would begin at the end of 2027 and the pipeline would begin service in November 2028. The company says the project would cost $1.7 billion and create 750 temporary jobs as well as 15 permanent positions. The project would also include new compressor stations in Humphreys, Attala and Lauderdale counties, although exact locations haven't been set. Singleton Schreiber, a national law firm that focuses on environmental justice, is looking to spread awareness of the public's ability to participate in the approval process, whether or not they support the proposal. 'We're just trying to raise awareness to make sure that people know this is happening,' said Laura Singleton, an attorney with the firm. 'They're going to have to dig and construct new pipelines, so it's going to pass through sensitive ecosystems like wetlands, private property, farmland, things like that. So you can have issues that come up like soil degradation, water contamination, and then after the pipeline is built you could potentially have leaks, spills.' Singleton added while such issues with pipelines are rare, when 'things go bad, they go pretty bad.' To comment, protest, or file a motion to intervene, the public can go to FERC's website (new users have to create an account, and then use the docket number 'CP25-514-000'). The exact deadline is 4 p.m. on Aug. 5. More instructions can also be found here. In addition to FERC, the proposal will also face review from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, National Park Service and the state environmental agencies in Mississippi and Alabama. Mississippians have seen multiple incidents related to gas leaks in recent years. In March, three workers were injured after accidentally rupturing an Atmos Energy pipeline doing routine maintenance in Lee County, leaving thousands without service. Then last year, the National Transportation Safety Board found that Atmos discovered gas leaks over a month prior to two explosions in Jackson, one of which claimed the life of an 82-year-old woman. ___ This story was originally published by Mississippi Today and distributed through a partnership with The Associated Press.
