Anyone else have friends & relatives who are suddenly experts in geopolitics and tariffs?

Some of them, like my wife's sister for example, are becoming insufferable.

I do this for a living and it's been hard for me to keep my mouth shut on social media...and on TD for that matter.

Does she live in Alaska and is she saving up for a cabin or used four wheeler?

Give her a good dickdown and she'll shut up.

It might be quicker to list who isn't.

The ones I know who are usually very loud are extremely quiet right now.

You mean, like every poster on this board?

No.
All of my relatives have IQs above a wet toilet brush.

Some facemasked Portland granola couple was buying their olive oil at Costco yesterday based on the tarriffs. Suckers and losers

She was a missionary nurse to Africa. Lives in Mississippi now, just south of Memphis. She's so obnoxious that she was actually asked not to return to an AIDS clinic in Africa where she volunteered because they just didn't want to put up with her shite any longer. She's a far-Left ding bat

They were also covid experts. A very talented group.

Honestly I'm in this boat right now for the most part too. I'm usually very loud on social media with pro-Trump stuff but I don't know enough about tariffs to be able to make a strong argument either way so I'm mostly quiet on the topic.
Am I enjoying this crash? Hell no, but I'm smart enough to realize that Trump knows business a whole lot more than I do and although I'm not a fan of what he's doing right now, at least on the surface, I know that odds are I'll love the outcome later. I just hope it's fast enough to not frick up JD Vance's 2028 aspirations.

Thankfully, no. My friends are normal people.

Well does her father live in Alaska where he is saving up for a cabin?

And immigration law. Don’t forget immigration law.

You mean the ones who were previously covid and Ukraine experts?
Posted on 4/7/25 at 2:41 pm to L.A.
No, all my relatives are still experts on gain of function research and Ivermectin. They haven’t moved on yet.

If this was a legitimate economic strategy it wouldn’t have been rolled out half arse. The implementation of this lacks clarity and no one is sure of the objectives. Everyone is just relying on blind faith that this will work out.

Not family, but roger and slo know more about tariffs than anyone on this board if you ask them
