Regarding #USPol: I have reread 2024 analysis of project 2025 policies by #JPMorgan. They clearly state that conservatively, the #USA will tank 0.7% GDP (it's worse by current analysis) and most of it will hit import-heavy industries, implying that industries like tech won't see an *immediate* detrimental effect. They state, as clearly, that by conservative estimates, the impact on tariffed economies shall be more than twice weaker. (Again, corrected estimates increase the gap, but that's not the point here).
Key observation – it was clear to everyone that this will negatively impact American economy, especially people of low income. Do you think it wasn't clear to trump's policy makers?
If you think it was, what do you think was the actual purpose of this policy?
While we're at it, have a look at distribution of incomes of people conscripted to russian army to die in the meatgrinder (not like I have a compassion for them).
I think that the dots are easy to connect.
