So folks, I was gonna order two brand, well actually, let me correct myself. I did order two brand new Ford Super Duty trucks back in September. Before I ordered them, I talked to the Ford dealership to see how the strikes, the UAW strikes were affecting production and at that time, the Super Duty plants were not part of that strike. So they were still in operation and continuing to work. So they said lead times on those were actually pretty reasonable and that I should see one of them in October, the other one in November. Anyway, October came and went and I don't pay attention to all the UAW strike status that's going on. Just catch a headline here and there when it's in the news. But I followed up shortly before Thanksgiving because we were getting towards the end of November and seeing where the heck these things are at. In turns out, would have been nice if I would have been told about this, but that the strikes had affected the Super Duty plants and that they were shut down and the stopped operation and the idea behind me buying both of these trucks was to get them in this year, this calendar year, this tax year, 2023, to use them for tax write off purposes there. So part of those vehicles on there, that was the intent. So anyway, I heard back from the Ford dealer and he said, no, we don't have a date right now, there's no good dates on there. I said, well, how are we looking to get these in 2023? Is that still going to happen or not? He said, yeah, I don't think so. You're looking at 2024 January, probably, to get them. Which I don't know, what goods of prediction when anything can happen, right? So that doesn't mean a whole lot of anything. When I said, can I cancel these orders and he said, you sure can? And I said, well, to give me over Thanksgiving break to think about it and I'll decide what I want to do. But at this point, I'm canceling my orders. So I still have the opportunity to do that without any cost incurred to me. But in 2024, I miss my window of opportunity. So I can go buy something that's off a lot similar, maybe get a better deal on a year end close out or something like that too, versus special ordering something. Sure has all the options I want and set up exactly the way that I want. But in my mind, essentially, Ford just missed out on 200 grand in sales because of being on strike and shutting production down for however long they did it. And so that's just one instance of where something they can happen and you wonder how many customers, how many businesses might have done the same thing or switched over to GM or to RAM or some other brand too because of this. I don't know if that affected the other plans and the other from the other brands as well or not. But it's just one of those things where I thought about that as just being a business owner too, right? Like if I don't have a union, I don't have union employees, we're just a small shop here too. But man, there's such huge repercussions of something like this. And I understand wanting better pay, better benefits, all that kind of stuff too. But you're also hurting yourself then as well, right? You're asking for more, but you're potentially putting some of that at risk too, taking away some security. When you get paid more generally, the product price is going to go up as well. So all these things have other factors that come into play and sometimes you don't see it personally. But in this case, they lost 200 grand in orders because of that decision. And I know that's a drop in the bucket. That's just a, that gets swept into the trash can over there at a company like Ford. But if you times that by who knows how many people, then or maybe if you add that factor on top of a, well, there are other factors that are all coming to a head at one point, then you can really start to wind up in a bad situation. You hear about layoffs happening at these plants and stuff too when they have, you know, when they're looking to go in a different direction, or if the outlook isn't as promising, or if they need to cut costs to get their stockholders, they're just happy. And so it's just another, another risk that comes into play. And I just thought it was interesting thinking about how that, that kind of a decision from the worker side of things where, again, I'm not knocking them for doing it, but maybe there's a better way to do that, where they could have still made their case and prevented this kind of a situation from happening because that's really not a good outcome for them. If they want to have job security and get more pay raises in the future, but they do harm to the, to the top line, well, how is that going to roll down to them in a positive way in the long run? So they may have won in the short term, but lost in the long run. We're proud to be sponsored by RimGuard Solutions, a liquid balust way. It goes right inside your tires completely hidden.

So again, this has nothing to do with, with Rubb and Rubb near the wrong way on the union or anything like that. It's just more of an outsider looking in at the repercussions of that decision because I've made a lot of videos on Ford. I love my Ford trucks and this is going to be my fifth and sixth super duty, something like that. And I was really looking forward to getting those machines or those trucks. I was going to have them already in fact. And so I was on board, but it's just kind of made me reconsider and I've been looking a little bit stronger at GM and maybe I go that route or maybe I just hold off completely at this point. But either way, it costs them 200 grand, which again, nothing for them at the grand scheme of things. But if it rolls up into a whole collection of different negative consequences, then it could have long-term effects that hurt them. So we'll see what happens. I'm back to the drawing board. I haven't decided what I'm going to do now, but it's giving me some food for thought. And maybe there's some leftover super duties on the lot too that I wind up buying. It could be, I could go that route as well. Not going to rule that out completely too, but I do like to get my trucks set up the way I want them and it doesn't appear that's going to happen if I want to get one in 2023. So that's it folks. I just thought it was an interesting topic there. Here's what you guys think about that too. I can see it from all different angles, and I don't know if there's a right or a wrong answer. I would just think that maybe there's something that could be learned from it and done differently the next time around. But we do mainly talk about tractors and tractor attachments around here.
