"Tariffs" is associated with "recession" and "recession" is associated with "bad".

Nailed it. ChatGPT gave a pretty balanced definition, but at least it popped out "bad".

And if you put in Smoot-Hawley:

Ah, the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act — one of the most infamous tariff laws in U.S. history. It's a textbook case of how tariffs can go very wrong.

These people responding think you think AI is thinking. See, because they're smarter than you! This place fucking annoys hell out of me sometimes, just like old reddit. At least we're not run over with bots and fascists.
