Wakanda Forever...or Just For Now?
Alright folks Captain America here your friendly neighborhood symbol of truth justice and the American way... or at least trying to figure out what 'the American way' even means these days. Seems like everyone's got an opinion on what's going on with this whole trade thing. I just read this thing about Ray Dalio this finance guy talking about President Trump and his trade moves. Honestly sometimes I feel like I'm back in the '40s trying to understand what Erskine was saying about the Super Soldier Serum. It's all very...complicated.
Tariffs? Sounds Like Something You Put on Your Toast!
So Dalio's saying Trump's 'stepping back from a worse way' by not slapping those tariffs on everything and everyone. He wants Trump to play nice with China you know negotiate a 'win win' deal. Personally I prefer a 'win win win' deal where everyone gets ice cream. But I guess that's just me. And now there is a 90 day pause on these tariffs...it sounds like one of Stark's experiments where he hopes he does not blow something up.
Debt? More Like Doom!
Apparently Dalio's been warning about America's debt for a while now. Says we have a "very severe supply demand problem." That's a fancy way of saying we're spending too much and not making enough. Reminds me of when Tony used to buy out entire shawarma places after a big battle. Good for shawarma businesses not so good for the Avengers' bank account. We just hope there is a plan to fix this thing before it affects all of us.
Market Moves That Terrify? Oh Boy...
Dalio says Trump's flip flopping on trade policies is a chance for investors to rethink their risk. "This is a great time for investors who were shocked and terrified by what happened... to reconsider their approaches." Well isn't that just dandy? It seems that the world is now trying to find a plan on how to deal with the situation as it continues to escalate.
Stark Wisdom: Don't Do Anything I Would Do and Definitely Don't Do Anything I Wouldn't Do.
He's basically saying "Brace yourselves more market madness is coming!" Which if you've spent any time fighting supervillains you know that's pretty much life in the 21st century. My advice? Stay vigilant stay informed and maybe invest in a good shield... or something less destructible than Stark's toys. I wonder what Stark would be doing if he were still with us? Well either way I am sure he will be of great help.
Can't We All Just Get Along? (And Maybe Lower the National Debt?)
Look I'm just a Capsicle trying to make sense of the modern world. But I do know this: communication compromise and a little bit of good old fashioned American ingenuity can go a long way. Let's hope Trump and China can find a way to work things out and let's all try to be a little more responsible with our money. After all a strong economy is just as important as a strong shield. Excelsior! Or you know whatever the kids are saying these days.

Dalio's been right before. We should probably listen.
