What do you think will happen to the economy in 6mos?

[OddBeMe]

Even IF countries agree to "deal"... tthat will take months to put in place.

[purplepoppy]

What deal? It's basically someone coming to your house with a bucket of gasoline and a box of matches and asking if you'd like to buy some candy.

The fact is people don't want their governments kissing Trumps arse for a deal. Our tariffs are higher because we're tiny and can't afford to be swamped with mass produced American goods that will destroy small businesses.

My prediction is your going to see companies struggle to get components and spare parts, I suspect a lot are stock piling now incase their suppliers go under. You might see arson attacks on American imports to other countries, particularly France.

In short I think this is the equivalent of Brexit. Lots of promises things will be hard at first then better, but the better times never came and shit became the new normal.

it'll be fine. we'll have reciprocal tariffs. the stock market will be fine. a middle class will grow. white men will start to get jobs again. crime will probably go up because of the disappearance of programs, laws and lack of DEI. everything will be phenomenal. i just need a place to hibernate until then.

Good question! The world is shaking in their boots.

[OddBeMe]

Always a great strategy for economics!

Once the situation with tariffs is settled , even if the deals are not finalized, the stock market will begin to recover. It also depends on if Congress can get Trump's tax bill passed. I think they are close.

Th jobs numbers have been good, oil is 60 dollars a barrel and the inflation rate is down and so are home mortgage rates.. There is still a lot of good news in the economy.

[lightbulb27]

trying to figure out how to find all the workers for the jobs, other countries in trouble.

your guess is as good as anyones as it's a very dynamic scenario.

[seeyounexttuesday]

So tariffs are enacted, they’re immediate and ruin the country but undoing them will take several months. Got it. You know no one believes this horseshit, right?

[OddBeMe]

Actually I think you have it exactly right.

Trump will be forced to undo them. It will take months and cause a recession. Then democrats come to power and fix everything. Like usual.

[seeyounexttuesday]

I know I'm right that you're a moron.

[OddBeMe]

I see... yes I was thinking of the "transition cost" of trumps bullshit

Oh no a country that’s been fucking over the US is upset we’re not going to be fucked over any more. Amazing news.

[OddBeMe]

Damn those Charlie Vietnamese! Crazy how much fun Trump when he thinks he can “tax” a third world country.

Recession followed by stagflation.

Can you sell apples on the corner?

[OddBeMe]

Technically... you need licenses and fda certs. But cops barely bust beggars

[beefcakebradybatson]

Didn't know that. Thanks for the 411, OddBeMe !!!

[OddBeMe]

I see cars on the side of the road selling shit all the time. Even panhandlers get a walk from cops these days. Who else is coming for them?

ICE- any illegals? Run!

[beefcakebradybatson]

Illegals=POC !!!
