    The new tariffs kick the RCSubGuy in the Nuts

    I'm not going to get into politics. These are just facts.

    As many of you know, I recently made a massive investment in a ton of RC subs from two great guys up north in Canada. A massive investment. A north-of-$25k-investment. We had the whole deal figured out. They were going to drive across the border. I had a customs agent lined up. Crossing as a proper commercial shipment. From there, they were going to meet me at SUBFEST for the handoff.

    Then... a certain someone enacted a 50% tariff on "Canadian made goods". Yes, it's in place now. Yes, it pertains to our submarines. Yes, it's 50%.

    So now, if I want my boats down here and not up there, I need to pay another $12,500 in tariffs.

    I don't know what I'm going to do. This is bad. Very bad. I depleted my company account to make this work assuming I'd have boats to sell in a few weeks. Now... who knows?

    Well, it’s a crock of ****. What else can I say. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail, and it won’t last long.
    Of the approximately 40,000 men who served on U-boats in WWII, it is estimated that around 28,000 to 30,000 lost their lives.

      That certain someone is making this country stronger and safer, and part of that is pressing upon our international trading partners the need to work out fair trade deals. Tariffs are one means of getting their attention.

      I applaud that certain someone's take-charge attitude and support him in this and almost all other foreign and domestic positions that guy has put forward.

      MAGA!
