Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBenzinga reports President Trump says Becton Dickinson will invest three billion dollars in U.S. medical manufacturing, with medical-device tariffs set for year-end.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the company builds factories and the tariffs arrive on schedule. That's not a coincidence, Hank. That's a hostage video with a ribbon cutting.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe data doesn't say the tariffs caused the pledge. That's your opinion, Dale. Please label it as one.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorLabelled. It's an opinion, and I'm absolutely delighted by it. Three billion dollars buys a lot of very expensive syringes.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMarkets are shrugging. S and P futures are up zero point two four percent, Dow futures up half a percent.
