    The irony of this being commented right as I had to work almost solid for two months as we frantically on-shored capacity that was lost when one of our key suppliers in the United States went bankrupt thanks to the tariffs.

      I was wondering where you went! I figured you needed a break, but you were busy dealing with the consequences of the actions of a man who will never have to deal with the consequences of his own actions. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s good to see you again, and I hope you at least get to take some extra time off to relax and wind down after so much hard work.

        Oh I did and very much do.

        and I hope you at least get to take some extra time off to relax and wind down after so much hard work.

        I wish, I am probably going to have to keep going through the holidays into next spring. But I will be able to go from ~120hr weeks to ~60hr weeks assuming that we don’t have any major issues (Which if you have ever worked with old industrial machinery, you know is basically guarenteed). Lucky me.

        but you were busy dealing with the consequences of the actions of a man who will never have to deal with the consequences of his own actions.

        Eh, it is not entirely the old pedophile’s fault. We did not plan to nearly double our headcount to take over the operations of the most complicated link of our supply chain at effectively a moments notice. Especially since they seemed like they were doing well.

        On a serious note this is a small snippet of what they had to deal with when importing the precursors. They were dealing with the high end of the tariffs.

        Such a smart move to revitalize American manufacturing.

        It’s good to see you again,

        Good to see you too!
