    No one thing triggered it but the tarifs contributed almost as much as the out of control stock market. All the controls put in place to prevent this have been changed. So stupid tarifs(Are there any other kind) and a unregulated market system has us primed for some serious times.

      There are some that work in order to protect national interests, mainly local producers and services. Whether they are stupid or not depends on implementation and end results

        But these local companies just jack up their price to be competitive to the new tariffed foreign price and pocket the money.

          Dunno, what usually happens without tariffs is that the bigger multinational companies drive the prices so low as to destroy local competition, after that they jack up the prices
