I guess that if these tariffs were to be abandoned by the Traitor in Chief, then the Dow and other stock markets would bounce back from their massive plunges today (and of the last little while since they were mooted). I suppose that would mean that anyone with prior knowledge of such a roll-back on these tariffs might be able to make an absolute killing on the deal - if they were dishonest / unethical / greedy enough.

I wonder...........

Stock markets plunge as China announces retaliatory 34% tariffs on US goods.

Oh dear.

It looks like the Traitor in Chief hasn't raised any tariffs on Russia. Is that because they don't do any business with Russia, or some other reason?

This is all a load of fun. Tech companies taking a hiding, hearing an iPhone could cost £3,500 soon. This could all end well with people realising they don't need all the stuff that capitalism says they need. Chaos is good as that is the place where real change happens.

Yeah, capitalists crashing capitalism because they have suddenly realised it doesn't work.

At least mindless consumerism is in the toilet.
