@TristanSnell Most smart US Companies are already bulking up on foreign imports before end of year (boon for foreign manufacturers), and preemptively evaluating and making price increases in preparation of incoming tariffs. This immediately impacts cash flow, hiring, and year end bonuses.

[Nick Forte @fortenic]

@TristanSnell Mostly correct with one small but MAJOR distinction. US company is Importer, Foreign company is exporter. US company importing goods pays 100% of ALL tariffs directly to US Customs (government). So #tariffs paid are directly added to COGS, which in turn increases price of goods.

@TristanSnell I would love for someone to make a list of US manufactures that exclusively use 100% US made components. From steel, to tools, to machinery, to raw materials, to the computers, printers, and every single piece. They don't exisit. Every US Manufacturer relies on forien imports.

[Nick Forte @fortenic]

@panomics Preach! College starts with move in weeks in Michigan that week. We left this worlds 1 day early cause we move 1 to college on Wednesday. 2026 may not be fully doable with Nate being a college freshman and move in combined…

@lubyllule Awesome run!!

[Nick Forte @fortenic]

@TcEvolutions there's no more drive to strive for worlds... well, they are going to loose in the long run too. They don't have the perspective to see that now, but when it catches up to them, they just may change their tone and tune.

[Nick Forte @fortenic]

@TcEvolutions pokemon. I really hope they can... I really do. But the rest of the community. I.E. The ones that PAY for COACHING, and subsidize the elite players... well, they matter too. And the pro players should know, the less of the community that doesn't want to "get good" cause 6/?
