Outdoor Retailer Realizes Tariffs Are Dumb

Today, over a month after the election in The Daily from Outdoor Retailer Kate Robertson writes:

“In my opinion, this is not a time to be quiet,” Costello said. “This is actually time to get louder and to raise our voice to make folks understand how these policies are impacting not only your companies, but jobs and consumers, sustainability practices, and research design.” 

That quote is attributed to Megan Costello, the vice president of trade and customs policy at Sorini, Samet & Associates, a Washington D.C. lobbying firm hired by the Outdoor Industry Association.

Well, no shit, Sherlock. Glad you used your voice in the lead up to the election to take a stand. Now is not the time, now is too late. Do you think for a second that Trump is going to listen to you? It’s over.
