no but they do set rules. lets go down that line though, The govt sets the rules on gas margins, on minimum wage, and other prices of private entites. My point is that this is not novel, whether one agrees with it or not.

They call them franchises for a reason. Think of a Wendy's frachise, they are private independent businesses but operate as licnesees of another so they follow the rules of that licnesee. Another way to look at it a private school has a set of rules under the MOE, the same way private businesses have wage and vacation rules, the govt owns the roads and can.regulate how those roads are run. In fact they are given an oligopoly and has state protection against barrier to entry.
In exchange there are a set of parameters that they know of.

But simply put They are granted a license to operate on the roads under a certain set of circumstances. In exchange they have a set of rules. The jitney service is already chaotic and backwards imagine a bus showing up and you not having any idea what the guy will charge.

These aren't proposed under IEEPA. These are proposed as Section 301 tarrrifs.

Using tariffs under IEEPA was struck down, which is the US did for most of the Apr 2025 tarrifs. Some of the other tarrifs are under 301 and they remain.

The fact that they didn't enact the law they passed tells us all we need to know.
