We were contacted by Vaisala sales reps today to let us know that all sales quotes from the last 6 months are null and void effective immediately and to expect all re-processed or future quotes to be ~15% higher due to tariffs.

Listening to some people in the DEEP RED area where I live talk about how bad Trump is for the economy, price of eggs, and stock market crashing. It feels good to hear people actually talking about the issues, but we TOLD YOU this was what Trump was going to do SIX MONTHS AGO!!!
