I know they are pushing a bill to ban people in congress to ban them from trading stocks but nobody is ever going to vote to pass it because they make too much money off of it. I asked ChatGPT to run a simulation of the US cutting off China and vice versa. This will assume that America will lift tariffs on other countries (which I think will happen within weeks). At China's current rate they are due to surpass the US in about 10 years. I assume the intention of this trade war is to prevent that from happening. As history has shown in the 1930s, being a net exporter in a trade war is economically devastating. I agree that the middle class in America will be SLAMMED. They make too much to be subsidized by the government, but make too little to live comfortable. The cost of a pair of jeans in 5 years will be roughly 75% more expensive than it is today. This might also cause China to become a complete nationalistic authoritarian regime once the millions of young unemployed workers hit the streets. They can forget about ever invading Taiwan.
