Tré sees tariffs as self-inflicted pain, while John views them as necessary leverage. But both seem to agree: we're fencing with blindfolds on.We unpack the 54% cumulative tariff rate, argue over whether prices have really changed, and ask why "we're getting screwed" sounds more like a vibe than a verifiable fact. From farmers and gas prices to day traders and long-term investors, we break down who’s winning, who’s whining, and whether "fair t...
