Our customers just cut orders by 20% directly due to tariffs, and management just asked for voluntary layoffs before they become mandatory.

MAGA indeed.

Weird,

I'm not familiar with the term
I assume that means components for aircraft.

We are mostly defense and natural gas compressor components
Defense is booming.. I  think they are trying to get the contracts out and the $$ spent before Trump pulls the plug

Natual gas is booming too, but the tariffs will hurt.
We use thousands of tons of steel casting and forgings. They are customer supplied and used to come from Alabama
The EPA drove the Alabama mills out of business and now the steel is coming from Canada.

Direct supplier for heavy industry. Think big rigs, tractors, construction equipment, etc. We get lots of steel from Canada as well.

Just reporting, without many details, what we were told by management yesterday.

Does anyone care to explain to me how the tariffs work as a tax cut for American people?

I'll go back to being a conservative, when conservatives go back to being conservative.
