That was my point, pride cultures always justify their actions in an attempt to save face. Same crap the woke left does here, no matter the drama it is always justified or hidden.

You are right but they are a pride-based culture and love the long game, the only thing we have over them is we are nowhere close to an election so they will hurt unless they cave. If this happened in 2027 they would hold and wait us out.

Like you pointed out their experts are a joke, anyone listening to them now shouldn't be allowed to manage their own finances.

A good start but more has to be done, like whoever recommended her and gave her that position.

I think like all things there will be positives and negatives and a learning curve, but Americans are at their best when challenged. I am not worried about losing my small business, I am looking forward to a massive increase in business. The stock market has zero effect on me.
