We  can easily predict where this all going, present tariff regime unsustainable, alterations only a matter of time. In any case I fully expect there will be less free trade long into the future, memories long and nationalism/protectionism increased. This means less competition which in turn means higher long term prices, in this 'new' economic world consumers will be squeezed meaning less consumption. Add to this so many other constraints on growth such as AI, environment, aging populations, and so many others. Fewer and fewer humans will be productive going into future, AI alone will displace millions, perhaps billions. 

 

Many are advocating running balanced budgets and controlling debt, in order for that to happen humans must be far more self sufficient than at present or planned for into future. With the above constraints I don't see this happening.

@texasblues1959 Is that you Jerry? Back under, what is it now, your 8th or 9th new member name? You always betray yourself when you reference the past. You became rather hard to follow at times after your stint in the hospital and it shows in your posts even now. You'd think after being banned so many times you'd just move on.

Here's some entertainment to help you relax:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8vH7WpctFA

@nonoise Love the video. Kinda rich hearing someone with Texas in their handle call you the "center of the universe," since that state is infamous for stomping on everyone else and then calling them names. Everything is bigger in Texas, including the business end of the alimentary canal.
