One doesn't have to have "dealt with" Rubbermaid to know the history of what happened to it when Wal*Mart announced that it was cutting what it was prepared to pay for its products (when Rubbermaid was so dependent on sales to Wal*Mart that it couldn't survive without them).

Well Rubbermaid management made a basic, but terrible mistake. One of the first things taught in business schools is not to become dependent upon one company for you survival. were they relatives of you?

Quote:Have any tariffs occurred?

I guess that you haven't noticed the tariffs that the US has been applying to Canadian products and what those tariffs have done to the US domestic price for those products.

Actually, Canada still charges more on US goods imported into Canada. The variance is about half. Curiously when approached Biden left the Trump ones in place.

Yes, I know, having a working knowledge of economics and history is a real handicap when discussing economic and/or historical matters with people who don't.
