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.
