For me one of the problems will be the Spring and Summer peak repair season will be getting hit with all these price increases due the tariffs hitting at the same time. Yes prices will come down a little but it going to be hard to get those investment companies to give up the extra profits. I can just hear it now as all the complaining from the customers and myself. And it doesn't help that I be entering next year in the RED due to two A hole customers here. But at least it is at the break even level meaning right now it is under $1000 lost. First time in the 15 yrs I have been here.
As here groceries prices just started downward trend and now these tariffs threats and the potential labor shortages are just going drive them back up. It is bad enough with all the food recalls lately making it hard to know what to even trust as safe food to buy and eat. I remember the last time when a lot problems were created in Florida during the peak harvest season where crops had to just lay in the fields and rot because there were very workers to pick them. Now we have lost a huge crop of pecans in GA and a lot other fruit trees were heavily damaged and will take years to recover. Tariffs are not make them grow any faster to production age. On top that the weather is not cooperating either as I have lost my fruit crop the last 6 years due late Spring freezes and the Summer months turn off bone dry.
And we here are dropping from the highs in the 70's to the single digits the next few nights. Rough on the animals as they haven't gotten used to the low temps. Was suppose to be only in the low upper 20's last night and this morning it was 21.
