  content: Honestly, I gotta take my licks at the moment, since it looks like the US is relenting particularly with China. So yeah, it's a couple months of pain for a slightly better(?) tariff deal, but that's not transformative. It isn't going to work like the 1800s to actually build a whole infrastructure. If things were done like back then, it would hurt in the short and long term but the US would come out stronger for it. Instead it was just some volatility and some mild trade concessions.
