    They need to stall for 18 months until it’s time for elections and then hit the US with retaliatory tariffs.

    Americans are like a dumb animal. If pain doesn’t happen immediately with the cause, they are unable to associate the problem with the source of discomfort.

    Why don’t we apply immediately 10% reciprocal tariffs, for 90 days? We have to show that we won’t be weak!

        Yes… To be honest, It’s already difficult to choose what to eat tonight with a group of 3 friends, so I can imagine that making economic decisions at 27 takes time 😅
