Reading this thread is very illuminating, it’s like the consensus has now flipped 180 degrees , after Trump instituted tariffs , now its ‘Tariffs good’ :).
Numerous folks sought to lecture me on this point,
that it was worthless to place tariffs on Chinese goods presumably because I wasn’t one of the crew and didn’t follow the Republican/Liberal free trader mindset of the day.
I bet you only 1% even understood that the balance of trade payment deficit gets added to the national deficit either.
It really shows the massive cognitive bias folks are susceptible too. They think they are being logical with the facts but they are actually just being selective with the facts.
Also the gloom and doom that was the 2010 America economy…Compared to now.
Unfortunately Taiwan is pretty much the same.
