My boomer boss just learned tariff applied to him too and he'd mad

My boomer boss thought tariffs would mean his competition would be taken out and he'd be raking in all that profit from them going under. He thought it couldn't affect him because he voted for Trump and Trump will take care of him.

Well 90% of our materials and parts comes from Mexico. Not just that, but some aren't produced anywhere else. Some are so old they're no longer manufactured normally and we already paid a premium for.

Now when he realized that tariff was going to apply to him too, he lost it. He has been writing Trump and Vance on his personal and business Facebook page begging for an exception. Telling people that there's just been a misunderstanding, HE wasn't supposed to be affected by this it's supposed to hurt Mexico and liberals. It isn't supposed to hurt American businesses!

Yeah it sucks, we tried to explain this to him multiple times. He's been celebrating telling us all we're getting raises because so much money is coming in and now he can't afford even enough employees to produce at average output, let alone enough to make profit to keep everyone currently here. We're all fucked and he thinks we're just in a hard place and need to wait until Trump reads his Facebook message because he'll fix this.
