IF, the threat of tariffs results in a collapse or serious downturn of a global economy, that would benefit no one. Except the new group of billionaires that are growing each day. Billionaires love recessions. When people lose jobs, foreclosures are up, businesses shut down, that creates a ‘yard sale’ for billionaires who, sitting on piles of cash, swoop in and buy up everything for pennies on the dollar, enriching themselves obscenely. Happened during the last recession, look it up. Oh, and when economies collapse, homelessness increases, and inevitably crime. Because when people are hungry and desperate they will resort to crime to feed themselves and their families. That would NOT be a positive aspect. Most of us here are not billionaires, don’t know about your fiscal situation, but according to the experts, merely people who have Masters and PhD’s in global economics and have spent decades studying the subject, this will result in grim times. But hey, what do they know.

You didnt really respond to one of my scenarios, but that's ok. Don't worry Chuck, the sky isn't falling and the global economy certainly isn't going to collapse. Your so called "experts" are wrong, and they get it wrong on a consistent basis. Plenty of people have a phd ...but being able to study and pass a course doesn't equal intelligence.

This political nonsense is getting out of hand. @ArmyRover can you put a stop to this? Car forums aren't the place to share political cartoons or make fun of others if they have different beliefs. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and voice their concerns, but this isn't the platform for such things.

Gee thanks for the invite to the party. Politics are more volatile than D2 head gaskets and this obviously has a least one of the two on the way out. So if I have to start cleaning up meme’s and I’m not on facebook the thread will get locked
