I'm not going to argue with you, but at 50 and having a father who lived through the Great Depression and liked to talk politics, I have never heard of tariffs being *the cause* of the Great Depression until this moment in time. That strikes me as . . . odd.

As I watch this tariff drama unfold, I rarely see anyone mention in their condemnation of the tariffs how over valued the market had become over the past 15 years or so. Standard acceptable P/E ratios have been out the window for a long time now. The affect on the market was due regardless. The tariffs just hastened the fact!
