RNA - Rock N Arbor just sent out a similar email. Buy now, etc:

...we strongly encourage you to place orders now at current pricing, as we will be implementing price increases on select products starting in the next 7-10 days. These increases will initially affect Sterling, Notch, and Silky products, with the potential for additional adjustments to follow.

 

[Serf Life]

VSG first to increase, so suprised!

Which manufacturers in the US make good chainsaw protection worth wearing? Good helmets worth wearing? Harnesses? Pretty much all the best stuff in a lot of areas in our industry is coming from overseas. It is completely ignorant to think that US manufacturing can magically pop up factories and make stuff to compete with what has been imported for years as our economy has gone up and up and up.

The causes of the struggles of the working class in this country is more from being stuck in a polarized two party system that continually bends to the will of the corporate puppeteers and military industrial complex, the decline of unions, and the inability for the populace to understand what is going on and inability to join together to do anything about it. Polarizing politics and keeping everyone arguing about abortion and trans rights and other nonsense issues keeps everyone from actually talking about the stuff that really matters like the economy, healthcare, and perhaps even clean air and water if we can agree that those things matter.

Impose term limits on the Supreme Court and Congress and eliminate the ability for people in Congress to become lobbyists for set amounts of time and also make it so they and their family members can’t invest in the stock market and you’d likely see a shift towards sanity in this country.

and don't forget to repeal citizens united

China? 30% tariff
Canada? 25% tariff
Saddles, carabiners, ropes, gear from Europe? 20% tariff
Silky saws from Japan? 24% tariff

Proposed tariff rates by country. 10% if not otherwise listed:

Algeria 30%
Angola 32%
Bangladesh 37%
Bosnia and Herzegovina 35%
Botswana 37%
Brunei 24%
Cambodia 49%
Cameroon 11%

So after complaining about inflation, we taxed ourselves and then made our currency worth less. So the tariffs will be more than what is listed, in reality.

Russia seems to be missing on that list

This sounds like a terrifying worst case senerio to me. As an alternative possibility think of how quickly manufacturing was ramped up for WWII.

Merle ,
it'd be nice to think Americans today will turn in there pots and pans, go on rations,
all of us united like our four fathers did in WW2

 

[tnttree]

any one here shop for a well made quality production felling axe, made in the USA? I think council tool is the only company making them these days outside of boutique blacksmith shops where you can easily spend $500-1000 for a functional wall hanger.
We gutted our manufacturing capabilities in a mad rush for globalization. We closed our saw mills and foreign countries bought them as scrap prices, we shifted our production forests to higher rotation, mechanized harvest and engineered wood products.
The shear cost to bring any of that back is astronomical at this time, we have to build the machines to make the machines to train a non existent work force to make the thing..
we shot our collective selves in the foot, and now we are trying to take a step backwards to shoot our self in the other foot.

and those patriots are the corporations buying our leaders with there excess profits

I have seen some video of people who witnessed Americans coming together after 9/11 in NYC and going above and beyond to get a stranger back to her family etc. When we're done bickering we're pretty incredible I think.

Divided we fall

 

[96coal449]

I try and push for unity wherever I am. It's a very hard thing to do at times.
It is very satisfying when you know you have made a difference. No matter how small that accomplishment may be.

May we all unite as brothers and sisters.

Me personally.... I feel like you give more of a Steve-O from jackass vibe..... but in a tree type of way!

Only as dorky as the rest of us.

No and I think you're a credit to your craft and to the company. You'd be the kind of employee I'd try and pilfer away if I was still running my own outfit these days. Cheers guy. Keep fighting aridity and disenchantment.

Is this what inspired you to build that weigh lifting rig @bonner1040 ? You should show that off to inspire the other treenerds out here.
