So I agree on the impact, and on the why care. But I'm not seeing why waiting long makes it worse. Based on what you said, waiting longer could help if it can hold out until this tariff war is over (one way or the other). Then it might be possible to lower interest rates to soften the impact. If it can hold out for a whole new administration even, that could help a lot. Though that is also what would likely trigger it, as a new administration will likely restore regulations that have been relaxed, increasing costs to business. But I would rather pay that price at that time with that administration than this one.
The bubble is growing over time. It will have a more severe impact in two years than it would if it happened tomorrow.
That makes logical sense, but I am looking for a more solid explanation. Again, I am not saying it isn't, I am asking how could I say that to someone and then back it up with a solid why.
