With Michael & Greg
2/10/25 – Lighting Episode 390 – Michael & Greg
As of this recording, the US has backed off on tariffs, for now. But they still loom as a possibility sometime in the future. Michael gives his perspective from the viewpoint of Canada, while Greg and Spencer look at it from a “what’s best for America” standpoint. Can’t we all just get along? Spencer Miles first appeared on Get a Grip On Lighting way back in 2017 on episode #4. He is the President of Pacific Lamp and Supply Company where he has worked for 24 years of Pacific Lamp’s over 100 years of business. Spencer served as NAILD’s President in 2019.

Im listening to this video and so far it is way off target.
A tariff is paid by the importer not China, Mexico or Canada.
It is a direct tax by the American importers from Trump.
Raising prices raises inflation and the customer buys less. Stupid comment!
90% of fixtures come from China. Importers are now paying a 30% tariff from his last time in office. Now he is adding 10%. It is not a political stratagy. It is an actual strategy now 5 years old.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
