    A funny:

    This feels different than 2008 because everyone agreed it was bad. You didn't have Hank Paulson on tv saying that owning a house was making you weak and you'll learn to love tent life.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Trump admin expected to impose large fees on Chinese ships. A guy in logistics describes how that will effect smaller ports like Boston and New Orleans.

        A lot of right wing guys who spent the last two days telling us most people don’t own stocks and the market isn’t the economy went on to take premature victory laps this morning when the market was up.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          Heads they win, tails we lose.

          The more common strategy is to dismiss anybody who cares as a "wealthy wall streeter". That this is the price we need to pay, for main street.

          But there are so many people on main street with 401ks, depending on them for their retirements. Not to mention the whole job loss and recession thing, which won't go well for main street either.

                Maybe I'm just not watching the news enough, but I don't have clarity on what the end goal truly is for all of this. Manufacturing back into the USA? Lower tariffs against USA imports in other countries?

                  Do more manufacturing, and get better trade deals with other countries.

                  I'm sure they'll both happen to some extent, but the cost will be a likely recession, with small and medium sized businesses harmed the most.

                        At times, your hatred of all things political causes you to descend into absolute stupid supposed witicisms. Do you know John Kennedy? Ever sat across the room from him and listened to him work a meeting? Ever watch him go through a financial spreadsheet?

                          I wasn't commenting on Kennedy's speech in any way, shape or form. I was commenting on the YouTube comments to it, which I believe is what LD was referring to.

                          Do try and keep up.

                                I more or less like what the good senator is at pains to portray. Whether I believe it is practical is another matter given the mercurial character of the current Oval Office demogogue. As such, I think Kennedy’s noble quest is futile and amounts to little more than trying to make candy from a turd.

                                    China announces 84% additional tariffs on US. And orders its banks to reduce treasury holdings.

                                    We have several trillion of debt that needs to be rolled over by June and interest rates are rising.

                                    Normally when stocks drops bonds go up - “flight to safety”. We’re losing that thanks to one crazy man.

                                    Summers called this the first ever iatrogenic financial crisis.

                                        The comments are disturbing.

                                        I shouldn't worry, you're sampling a subset of people who feel the best use of their time in contributing to this debate is to post remarks on YouTube.

                                        At times, your hatred of all things political causes you to descend into absolute stupid supposed witicisms. Do you know John Kennedy? Ever sat across the room from him and listened to him work a meeting? Ever watch him go through a financial spreadsheet?

                                        Maybe you didn't watch the video, but Senator Kennedy, who I think almost everybody here likes and respects, believes the tariffs are bad for the American economy. He affectionately calls Trump the dog that caught the car, and he thinks the only way forward from there is to use tariffs as a temporary negotiating tactic. Not a permanent trade barrier.

                                        I thought Kennedy did a very good job of appearing to flatter Trump whilst telling him to pull his finger out of his ass.

                                        Say Jolly, I said something positive about a politician!

                                        I was only joking

                                          Looks like people stopped building factories. American machine tool company sees dramatic drop in demand.
