Thanks Mike for being honest and real with us. I agree, we are in for a grim few years.

The tariff situation is going to take a lot of people by surprise, I’m not sure that they’re going to be able to make the connection between the policy and their household budget. I like the economic protection that tariffs can provide but it’s not magic bullet and the people it hurts the most are the folks who have the least money. It’s more like sin taxes (soda, cigarettes etc.) in this application, sure they can raise much needed revenue but they end up hurting peoples wallets.

That's the big problem IMO. I think they're fine in moderation when applied correctly and can do a lot to promote businesses domestically. But when they're this aggressive and widespread, you're only going to harm the people who can't afford it.
