  • Tariffs on Cars Imports

    In the 2008 economic crash, what was one of the first industries impacted? Automative, specifically our big 3: 1.GM, 2.Ford and 3.Chrysller at the time. This had a major impact on the employees of these companies and the partners of these companies as well. This economic depression cause the Michigan governor to make one of the worst decisions in the history of water management by changing the water channels for the city of Flint.

    Today, March 26, 2025. the Trump Administration imposed Tariffs on imported cars will create further friction with our European allies, the European Union and our direct neighbors in Mexico and Canada. At the surface, this appears to be a great advantage for the Big 3 automakers of the United States: 1.GM 2.Ford. 3.Stellantis; Unfortunately these tariffs will also negatively impact the US automakers as well due to the forecasted increase in higher production costs due to tariffs’ effect on the auto supply chain. Anyone living in the Detroit areas knows that cost increases directly impact main street. If there are employees laid off due to these tariffs have to focus on our bare essentials of life, consumer spending wiithin the midwest region of our country is going to nosedive.

    The countries making these cars are going to respond with retaliatory tariff and travel restictions measures in the 2nd measures

    The combination of Layoffs, decrease in consumer spending and business revenge tactics that our foreign allies plan to surprise us with will result in a recession in the 3rd quarter of this year starting in July 1st, 2025?

  • Quarter 3 Recession

    This author also predicts a recession will occur in the 3rd quarter of this fiscal year due to the following reasons:

    1.The impact of laying off hundreds of thousands of government workers will trigger a calvacade of consequences inclusive of high unemployment.

    2.In parallel to the government layoffs, AI is silently taking away jobs from the private sector. As more AI bots are created the need for humans to hold jobs with highly repetitive tasks decreases significantly. The Veterans Affairs is planning to layoff thousands of workers in June.

    3.Combining points 1 and 2 will trigger a calvacade of consequences. The unequal imbalance of jobs lost in both the public and private sector will result in high unemployment rates, mortgage defaults, foreclosures and unfortunately an increase in crime, both nationally and internationally.

    4.The tariffs being placed on Canada, Mexico and China which go into effect in April will result in a decrease in consumer spending and an additional increase in inflation.

    5.The uncertainty involved with the turmoil of these events will result in investors pulling their money out of the stock market and into alternative investments which promote shorting the market.
