But as long as people feel good is all that matters

I don't think anyone is spiking the football, but months of economic uncertainty is horrendous leadership if we're being honest here.

If you're a company that deals with importing goods, you have no idea if the current tariffs will stay. You have no idea if finding an alternative source will also be penalized. It's chaotic.

It was pretty obvious from his comment that he was.

It is certainly causing a lot of extra work for companies and businesses and I don’t disagree that it’s chaotic. That’s pretty obvious.

As I have said multiplications, I have no idea if this will be successful or not. I’m not an economist. We do seem to have a lot of “experts” here though. Well, let’s be honest, the MSM is disingenuous because no one is paying higher prices right now because of the tariff strategy.

We can discuss our opinions on what is happening when it is happening. You have countless posts here discussing topics that you are not an expert on... We all do.

Businesses that import goods are absolutely paying more now. They may have front loaded inventory to get ahead of the tariffs, or they might eat those costs in the short term as they evaluate the market and navigate the uncertainty, but eventually they will have to raise prices.

But they haven’t yet. The consumer has essentially not seen it yet.
