Much better to just keep doing the same things that aren't working, right?

Yeah. Much better to throw handfuls of shit at the wall and hope that it sticks.
You sound like an adherent of “The Secret”.
Cost shifting or surcharge provisions when dealing with inflation or price volatilities are nothing new or unusual. Presumably, the contractor is simply shifting an increased cost to the customer(s), but only if the contractor actually pays the increased cost. A cost plus contract would have more or less covered it anyway.
Grab some tissues and clean up the mess in your tidy whities, bub.
If you had looked at my post with any semblance of comprehension, you would have noticed that I specifically stated I didn't know how hoe the move would turn out. You, on the other hand immediately are jumping to confusions without having a clue. I will take note of the fact that you believe you are much smarter than Mr Wonderful.
Right, I know a little about contracts like that, not an expert by any means. But Flatland presented it as a done deal that the costs will shoot up when that may or may not be the case. Besides that, the tariff is 25%, yet he says the costs will increase by 33% in the contract. What kind of maths is that?

Hey buddy, are you crying out for help here? I don't have this problem, but I'm told that there are treatments available.
That said, I do agree that "we" need to see how it plays out (like "we" have a choice) - although my $5 predicts a major run on TP, particularly at Costco, starting Tuesday.
I will say that, IMHO, attacking our bordering neighbors out of the gate, as we are doing, would not be my 1st priority as President. As to Mexico in general? Seems like incentivizing and cooperating rather than attacking would be more productive.
No help needed for that, thank you very much. It's actually just the opposite.Hey buddy, are you crying out for help here? I don't have this problem, but I'm told that there are treatments available.

Sometimes tough love is the best option for changing behavior. Remember that it helps to get some NATO countries kicking in more like they should for the greater good. Sadly, there was zero tough love coming out of DC towards any foreign countries in the past 4 years. And you saw the disastrous results from that, particularly on the southern border.
Boy what a reasoned and intelligent reply to a long post that was simply musing about the issues. You must be proud of yourself.
And frankly bud, I find your gym locker room schtick to be more than a little creepy. You invented that narrative out of thin air, and you just keep plying it. That is creepy. Tell you what - I will reply to every post of yours to anyone with jokes and insults about your (now apparent) latent homosexuality, erectile dysfunction and small penis. Of which the latter two have already been documented as fact. And if you piss me off (not there yet), I've got other items lined up for you.
Oh, and I was counting your insults so far today (I'm bored, no FB). Over a dozen so far directed at me, 8 or 10 directed at Krusty, and a few sprayed around at others. You must be working up a sweat. Go have a glass of Zinfandel or whatever it is you drink.
Don't disagree in general, but what "behavior" does say, Canada need to change? Quit exporting energy to the US? Quit exporting Molson? Mexico, way more complicated of course. There again, how about talking first rather than trying to rename the Gulf of Mexico as your first order of business?
And as far as your top comment goes, I'm told that the goat and sheep community of Greater Athol is worn out.
I don't go near Athol. Is it kinda like Enumclaw?Don't disagree in general, but what "behavior" does say, Canada need to change? Quit exporting energy to the US? Quit exporting Molson?

I do know the stated goal of the tariffs is to have them both tighten down the borders, stop the flow of migrants and drugs. Other than that, I don't know a lot of specifics. Doesn't Canada prohibit US citizens from owning property up north? Maybe drop that, if it is true. Do they have tariffs, surcharges, or taxes on any of their exports to us? If so, get rid of them and have free trade both ways.
Link below has a release from the White House. Interesting thoughts/claims/lies/whatever from other folks about tariffs, including Yellen. I cannot pretend to know if the comments are true or not without doing research, and don't want to get into all that now.
