  And somehow those prices won’t really drop when the tarriffs are quietly removed.

  I’m looking at you, energy prices.

    Watch the Louis Rossman segment of the video, where he actually makes a pretty good point about why the price doesn’t go back down: youtu.be/1W_mSOS1Qts?t=5774

      Fascinating perspective, I hadn’t considered the business confidence angle but the metaphor of the body storing more energy from a feast after starvation was great

        Exactly. Uncertainty leads to higher prices, because businesses need to weather potential higher costs to them. Protectionism leads to higher prices, because it cuts out foreign competition, and competition is what leads to lower prices.

        Louis Rossmann is 100% correct here IMO.

      Louis part alone needs to be extracted out as a separate one. Interesting.
