Allazar my friend, thank you so much.
We are still in the fight, sadly it feels like we are in a losing battle. We'll be here for the duration, until they force us to close our doors. Two years left at the max, after over 5 years of putting our heart and soul into this.
My concern is for all of the people that can't or won't DIY. And all the new people, that really need a safe place to start. And now that hardware and all incidentals are included, we are all going to be up the proverbial creek for supplies as well.
We'll take the first hit when we have to get ID, as everyone will have to show proof of age at delivery.
We don't have a million dollars for even one application, we've rolled profits back into the building and equipment. Some people think that mom and pop shops have been getting rich, but that's not true if they are doing the right things all along. We get by, but we sure aren't rich.
I suggest we all get behind CASAA right now, they are fighting to get the grandfather date changed. That would save most of us. We personally already abide by the child resistant tops, disclosure labeling, etc. We have juices at the lab being tested right now, but I hesitate to do anything further in the face of this.
We're not in a panic over here, but certainly are afraid of the future.
I'm going in to my local shop for a matching set of something else this time.
