    I’m not sure if they would get that many. It’s definitely tempting and could be more realistic if it continues to get worse in the US, but isn’t the EU hurting more from all this than the US is?

      The American economy is like a classic Ford Mustang. It goes really hard on the straights, but if you run into something you crash hard.

      The European economy is like a Volvo. It’s not really fast, not that maneuverable, but full of seatbelts, airbags and crumple zones so if you hit something you probably walk away.

      Paraphrased from Mark Blyth.
