14. Short term, yes

and we're taking a lot of the developed world with us as King Adipose continues to mess up a world marketplace that was working, but did need some tweaking here and there to become fairer to Americans. Subtle changes aren't his style, he's a big idea man, and he pulled ridiculously big numbers out of his big, fat butt like he always does and now things are chaotic.

The danger alll along is that the developed world, having realized it can do very well without cheap oil and gas from Russia, can also do with all the stuff from the US. If that happens, we're screwed long term.

It's going to be a long 3.5 hears, so buckle up
