Civic Hybrid manufacturing moving from Mexico to Indiana because of tariffs.

Let me be clear, I still don’t like it. Reeks of protectionism and US manufacturing has always gone downhill in that environment.

I wonder what that’ll do to the list price.

Well, I'm thinking about buying (another!) guitar, and tarrifs might make it easier to justify shelling out for a US-made one, rather than Mexico, Indonesia etc.

A win for me! Not so much for the wife.

That's not going to last long. They'll have to replace them with Roberts.

Where did you see that? I know the Dockworkers new deal moved them over $100K and likely close to $200K with typical overtime.

@LuFins-Dad I'm just taking it as a given.
