I don’t doubt what you’re saying.

This all assumes that businesses and consumers can absorb the bump in prices due to the lack of a better deal. There are going to be plenty of construction contracts that Just Won’t Happen because they won’t be able to get the building materials they need to actually build something for a price that someone is willing to pay. That’s the kind of thing that can wreck a bottom line.

I’m not so certain. I think they’re perhaps opportunistic nihilists and have seen too deep into the abyss one too many times to know how to deal with the sheer amount of nothing they saw there.

Thanks. Remember, it’s nothing against you, or even against people who were lied to in order to get their vote.

At some point, some random billionaire will become slightly less billionaire-y and freak out about tariffs wrecking their bottom line. Until then, we’ve all got to grab on to our sanity and hodl like never before.
