What company quotes jobs based on what they "think" material will cost them in the future?

If they have to stick to thier quotes, would not the suppliers have to stick to what they quoted the factory as well?

Steve Steve large corps will guarantee raw material pricing UNLESS something beyond their control hits.

MAGA MAGA MAGA

Canada could have been exempted from the tariffs if they would have had our back on NAFTA

Those Maine companies are free to buy their steel from any number of US steel suppliers.

Now we are back to caring about farmers and their soybeans?  

Haven't heard a damn thing about it for a while, until now.  

No, I could care less to be honest.  It was just an article that popped up in my news feed that illustrated real world consequences of tariffs.

Coincidence that they didn’t explain to what extent it will hurt their bottom line? 

That's the Bangor Daily News. The New York Slimes of Maine.
