It’s going to be really hard to recover from this shit. And most people will not understand that the tariff impacts that are just starting and still escalating and such will continue on unless we somehow get other countries to stop immediately… But why would they trust the U.S. after this. Why would someone in say Canada say, “sure I’ll buy a bottle of wine from the U.S. now”, or why would countries drop reactionary tariffs against the U.S. if they have set up new trade partners they may see as more reliable. Why hurt those new trade deals by believing the U.S. won’t try to fuck them over a few years down the line.
Buying stuff from the US? That’ll most likely return though at slightly reduced numbers because it doesn’t hurt to have multiple suppliers.
Investing in US facilities? Depends: Distribution for consumption, sure, minimal risk so long as the economy is doing ok there’s a large consumer market to access.
Manufacturing facilities? Much more risky and less likely to return.
Well yeah, now they can immediately blame the coming economic collapse on those dirty libs because they’re the ones in control now!!!
A mayor! Have you heard about this? A mayor! He’s in charge of the country and ruining it!
