re: It’s basic math: here’s why you’ll NEVER notice the tariffs

Not really the dumbest post on SEC political thread but it’s close. It’s scary dumb at this point.

Cokebottleag has some good points. International trade is a much smaller proportion of our economy than the rest of the developed world. And yet we are paying the lion's share to maintain safe world trade.

I can recommend "The Accidental Superpower" by Peter Zeihan. He makes the same arguments Cokebottleag does and explains the new world economy. It's a great read and very well written.

Interesting to see how relatively balanced we are with Canada and Mexico but how out of whack China is. That tells you where the leverage is.
