With the tarriff announcement/threat a couple of weeks ago, I got lucky. It'll be interesting to see what this does to the...- jryoung

Tariffs
Some of our suppliers (medical) have warned about potential higher costs, but of the products we get that are manufactured outside the country and relatively inexpensive to begin with so I'm not seeing it have a material effect, but still remaining cautious about potential blindspots. It's not...- jryoung

Evaluate the ROI on Education
Truth right here, between what I've had to pay for various GCs, HVAC, painters, landscapers, etc over the years professionally and personally that ones that show up and communicate are typically very successful. Now there's even a potential PE exit for many smaller scale guys...- jryoung

Don't let your 2025 opinion of Musk ignore the facts. That 465M ATVM load revitalized the NUMMI plant Toyota GM shuttered in early 2010. Workers got back to work and the loan was paid in 3 years benefiting taxpayers. Ford got almost $6 billion and it was repaid in 2022.- jryoung

Alcohol is a fascinating space right now. Broader talks of lower consumption by younger generations, wine overall is down and with spirits there's been a massive shift towards artisan producers (beer too). But with small batch production, distribution is a huge challenge based on previous...- jryoung
