Well, he's a good writer but it looks like I'm better off taking my economics experts here who assure me he knows nothing. Much like everyone else who disagree with them.

@FreddieUK One does not need to be an expert in architecture in order to recognize a building which has been shoddily made. One does not need to be a professional author in order to recognize a terrible book. One does not need to be an animal trainer to know when a dog has been allowed to develop awful habits. And so why do you think one must be an economic expert in order to know that tariffs on all imports from our allies were a terrible idea?

@CorvusBlackthorne I'm afraid you missed my irony...my fault.

@FreddieUK Apologies.

@CorvusBlackthorne No worries. I know sometimes I can be too obtuse. 😀

@FreddieUK Well I have not come across a single economist who considers tariffs to be a good thing. Quite the opposite in fact.
Have you?
Have you?

@Adeptlinguist Nope.
