participant> I should have better pointed out Trump’s tariffs causing inflation
I suggest going to your local library to peruse WSJ. It has a lovely discussion over last several months on whether this is actually the case. Turns out:
1) empirical data is inconclusive
2) tariffs are not static, they are being updated as we speak, many are being reduced and effect changes
3) and, most obvious, it is pure avoda zora to worship just one part of the issue. The tariffs are in place to (a) change long-term economic relationships, (b) affect power relationships with enemies.
