I dispise leaders saying these counter terriffs will balance trade once again.
Who's balanceing average joe's bank account when he has to buy a more expensive vehicle, when rents cost more because a building cost more to put up or his nightly drink of bourbon while Kentucky made bourbon rides in price to offset lost sales in other countries.
People lose while this all takes place and the fools all bickering go home to their towers and feel no impact on their daily lives.
The 'average joe' working man in the US has had a couple decades of losing slow, not much empathy left, just cut throat thoughts to improve our quality of life for our next generation and beyond.
Always painful ripping the band aid off to let actual healing start.
