(7,087 posts)Johnson has said he wants the most aggressive first 100 days on record. the effects of potential tariffs is already starting to set in, and many layoffs are already starting, or are being warned. Deporting millions will cause large sectors of the economy to go dark very quickly, as housing construction, food and other industries see people fleeing ahead of the disaster. cutting funding to infrastructure projects, will also stop employment in those areas, to say nothing of widespread government layoffs. Tariffs will be felt nearly instantly given the usual proactive of dock-to-stock, wont be much inventory sitting around un-taxed, and the companies will start proactively raising prices to compensate. I give it until June, unless something or someone intervene with the current plans and stupidity.
