Market is too saturated and it's too much work.

How was it bullshit?

How was it bullshit?

They raised their prices a ridiculous amount & then tried to blame Trump's tariffs because he's easy to blame & people just blindly accept it because he's the boogeyman

That still doesn't explain how it's bullshit.

Many US based companies have to raise their prices to afford the higher import fees due to the tariffs imposed by Trump. While Trump thinks it's going to hurt China, they just turn around and make us pay for these tariffs. I doubt you're still reading so I'm going to stop here.

So it's partly Trumps fault and partly theirs... got it.

Why raise them just enough to cover the tarrif when you can line your own pockets and blame the orange man instead?

blame shifting!

AT&T used to do that to me. "It's not us. It's federal regulations!" It was a glorious day calling & canceling with them.

You do realize that I'm the supplier and that these tariffs are real, right?

You're missing the point, but that probably is your point.

It's not blame shifting. These are cold, hard facts.

Was it though?

A bunch of our materials went up in cost because of the tariffs. Pretty much anything from McMaster-Carr or Fastenal is up 10-20%.

If you're my supplier you have a lot of explaining to do fella
