There were 4 big losers yesterday, I'll try to elaborate on who it was, and why!
1) Kamela Harris, obviously for a reason.
2) Metal & Wood which now suddenly has to sell his premium Chinese clones with a premium price, at the same or higher price than Stihl & Husqvarna.
3) @Czed who now suddenly gets an unexpected price increase, a big one, on his Chinese projects.
4) Myself who spent 2$ to buy a bar of chocolate to taste the sweet victory, that never came!

With the new president and one of his targets, a 60% tariff on all Chinese goods, all @Czed’s future projects are in smoke.
Here is the thing on tariffs that is often misunderstood. The manufacturer / Chinese exporter doesn't change his price, they tariffs are levied at the point of import, so the person bringing the goods into the US pays the tariffs, they raise their prices to cover that cost and the American public pay the higher prices for the goods and the US Gov gets a bunch of money to pay the grift to Elon and the others.

The statement that China paid $4 billion dollars in tariffs if a lie, the American public paid the tariffs. Am I against tariffs? I am pro free trade but tariffs do serve a purpose. They greater question is what is that tariff money spent on, the original idea behind it was to use the money to compensate those industries that were harmed by the importation of goods from another country. Unfortunately, few is any countries have transparency as to where this money goes...

I'm still a Neotec dealer so I'll be alright
Supposed to get a echo 2511 clone whenever they get customer returns
I have more than enough big saws.

Don't waste your time making sense.

That's absolutely right Gary.
We think we are protecting the nation by placing extra tariffs on an import, we do so if there is a similar product in the country at the same or lower price.
If there is none, it is the common man in the street who pays the tariff when he needs the product.
