When I was in my teens and driving around is a ’56 Chevy, we used to love what were then known as price wars, especially when they were waged by gas stations.
There would be several within a few hundred yards of each other and they would have gas for as low as 19 cents a gallon. That was great for us high school students with minimum-wage, part-time jobs.
But now we have these huge global economy trade wars. We’re not teenagers anymore. We are in business, trying to make a decent living and support families. We need a stable economy. These trade wars are not conducive to a stable economy.
When people are not feeling comfortable about financial issues, they tend to be much more cautious about spending money on things that they simply cannot survive without.
