Did it cross your mind that I made the post basic because I was trying to keep it simple for others who aren't as experienced as you and storm are? This isn't a technical message board.
You guys are so condescending here, I don't get it.
I stated facts, period. Just stop man. If you gave it that much thought you should get another hobby.
As usual, I can't make heads or tails of the point of your bloviating.
Are you saying you actually believe Trump and the problems with the reflecting pool are because of some sort of vandalism?
It does not surprise me at all that you do not understand. You do not understand ARMs, you do not understand consulting, you do not understand waste/Lean, list goes on and on....... All of which you proven to have no knowledge of but continue to insult. You are the definition of someone behind a keyboard with a lot of confidence. And most of the the time wrong!
What a great post.
Lol, uh huh.
I only worked in Mortgage Backed Securities in the second largest investment bank on Earth, but ARMs are really hard. Thankfully the guy who got his ass handed to him by an ARM was here to help me out.
It's definitely true that I don't understand why anyone would pay this bloviating tool for his consulting services… seems like the exact waste they should be cutting.
Help me understand what getting their ass handed to him means. I am making over 30% ROI with the ARM. When you were working in securities if you only made 30% for your clients would you consider that they got their asses handed to them?
Sorry, I knew that would sidetrack you. Please answer the reflecting pool question, I'm really trying to understand this conspiracy.
I have made no comments about the reflecting pool. Just another topic that Fox will report one way and CNN will report another way. Continuing to divide. I only commented on basic construction knowledge. Now throw more insults keyboard warrior!
It's pretty binary. Either you believe Trump's evidence-free claim that vandals are responsible for the algae and peeling paint, or you think Trump''s full of it and it was just shoddy work.
For some reason you felt the need to jump into the conversation and condescend Hokie's assessment of the construction situation. What was the point of that again?
More options exist. One being I could care less. I am allowed to share however I want to on a message board.
I was not once condescending. I stated facts. I did not insult like you have numerous times about me and my profession. Or as I believe Hokie himself has done about my companies brand being to focus on the customer.
I have been respectful to you on your work and even defended your work on lean production to Smapty because you know what your talking about. I was hoping for the same respect and I did t get that. It's over. I'm done commenting now on the issue.
You have posted more than one time about "good" companies or "bad" companies. With an attached article. You know you have done it. You know it is condescending about the brand I have built my company where you focus on customer. With the intent of gaining market share. Mainly in reference to tariffs and not automatically passing on additional costs.
If I may, I think there's some cross-talk going on here.
My impression of your input and responses (including mine) on tariff impacts, inflation, pass-throughs, and your business have nothing to do with your business model, some businesses being able run leaner or otherwise avoid passing through cost increases, or your ability to succeed by providing great value for your customers.
The issue at hand is whether enough companies worldwide can or are willing to undertake similar changes to their purchasing, operational, sales or other business functions so as for the American economy and consumers to not broadly experience inflationary pressures and cost increases in the face of tariff-related supply chain cost increases.
That conversation relates to reach and scale. Through that macro lens, the answer is a resounding 'no'. There's zero evidence either historically, or recently since Trump's stupid tariffs, that tariffs won't increase costs for businesses and subsequently for consumers, especially when implemented arbitrarily, punitively, and en masse.
That's not an indictment of you, your model, your business, or your observations about tailored solutions on relatively small scales being able to avoid tariff cost increase pass-throughs.
It's just a simple acknowledgment of historical and current observations on a scale exponentially larger than the one you operate on day to day.
