Tariffs on imports.
I saw FIRST HAND that overnight we went from only quoting in China and Taiwan, to quoting and getting deals in USA.
I was writing the quotes, I was approving them. It turned right back around in 2021.
- nullindividual 2y agoTariffs are a tax on Americans. The stuff still gets imported -- at a higher cost to cover the tariff.

- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoThank you for correcting my first-hand experiences. You know what we didn’t do? We didn’t “tax Americans” by continuing to use China, we made what we could in the US.
- nullindividual 2y agoGreat, you're in the minority of companies that did so.
- SV_BubbleTime 2y agoA counterpart at GM was going the same as me. Yea, small company tho. What I love is that you can’t admit that you could be wrong - when someone on the street is this case is telling you directly. You have no idea what you are talking about. Just a stubborn ideologue that could never admit Trump was right on this.
