I'm telling ya, back in my day we didn't have all these tariffs and whatnot... it's like, how do you even keep track of 'em all? 
Anyway, I think Automatic Precision is gonna be alright, their inventory strategy is solid and they've been able to keep prices steady for a while now. But, with most of their next shipment hitting the tariffs, things might get hairy... and it's not just about the tariffs, supply and demand are also at play 
. I mean, lower oil prices are helping out some, but it's still gonna be tough for these American manufacturers like Automatic Precision. The thing is, machines taking 5 years to master? That's a problem! We need more people getting into trade schools to learn those technical skills... and maybe we'll see electricians and plumbers raking in doc-like salaries

I gotta feel for this family-owned business 
Automatic Precision has been around since 1976 - that's dedication to its craft! They're not going down without a fight, though 
The way they've managed their inventory is pretty smart, but those tariffs are going to be tough to swallow 
The fact that profits might only come back at the end of the year kinda puts a damper on things 
They're already having to raise prices on customers and it's not easy to absorb those costs when you're a family-owned company 
What's interesting is that Bulat thinks there will be a growing demand for workers with technical skills, maybe we should start thinking about how to support them in the future?
