Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content.

Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

What do you think quoted price means…? That’s the risk you take when you quote stuff and prices change within the time they accept it.
Lots of material goods change prices daily.
Not holding up your original quoted price is how you lose business and your business in general. You seem to think that you can just choose to not hold up your end of the agreed upon contract? Yikes.
But hey, such a good business doing what you originally agreed to!
There's a difference between lamenting the reality of honoring a quote after things change and wishing you didn't need to. They're saying they wish the government would pay them back for the tariff, not that they wish they could've passed it on to the customer.
So they want the government to fix a regular issue with quoted work…? The price is expected to change, that’s why you quote to begin with…. It’s likely they don’t even know how their system works.
That’s even worse lmfao.
It’s quoted work, it’s volatile already, and the customers game it if they know the material goods in going down. Don’t like it? Don't quote work. It’s not even a relevant detail to their gripe, just bitching for the sake of bitching at this point.
The price would be different with or without tariffs, but complain without realizing how the system works I guess.
Going through my past three days of comments and down voting them all doesn't help your argument.
They aren't just saying "wahhh government, pwease pay the difference of this quote" they're specifically replying to a thread about a company suing the government for tariff reimbursements and talking about a tariff making the price go up after the quote.
Fucking LOL, they responded and guess what, you were wrong! What a shocker!

You know what they say about assuming? Makes an ASS out of you and me, but you’re the only ass here, but that’s also not surprising. Since you’re just a petty little troll.
Says the person who is still going through my comment history and down voting things. Every accusation you've made is a confession.
Did you miss the detail about the VENDOR increasing price? Their build cost went up, not the price. This would happened irregardless of tariffs, and is expected.
I guess if you ignore details they specify, you could take that from their comment.
But again, person is just bitching for the sake of bitching, the provided details show they either don’t understand how the system work, or just bitching.
They want to applauded for doing what they agreed to, it’s bloody laughable. As a small business owner myself it’s attitudes like this that make the rest look bad.
After going through three days of my comments to down vote them all, you don't need help making yourself look bad. You handled that quite well yourself.
Ah yes, downvote a couple stupid comments you’ve made and suddenly I went through “days”.
How petty and sad is it that you even went and looked lol?
Coming from the person who just admitted to going through days of my comments to down vote them.
Also, for those watching from home, it was over a dozen comments. Not "a couple."
Really @plantfanatic@sh.itjust.works ? Doing this again?
lol, seriously? Do you check your comments religiously to see how they are being voted on? This has to be the saddest thing I’ve seen online in long while.
Mind you, from your comments we can see that you’re just an incredibly aggressive person and frequently get downvoted. So of course you would want to know who it is and harass them.
You’re exactly the reason public logs are an issue. You think every thing is a slight against you. Don’t say stupid shit, don’t get downvoted, what a shocker.
It's very funny to me that you do something petty and get caught, and your only defense is "oh yeah? Well it's actually sad that you noticed I did this."
The passive aggressive thing going on is harassing me by down voting all my posts. You're just upset that you got caught.
Obviously you think public logs are a problem because you got caught being petty and passive aggressive.
