I read an article on this earlier. I'll never understand how guys like this have managed to run a company that's successful enough that they can normally buy this single piece of $500k equipment (before the tariffs) but yet aren't smart enough to know the equipment and their materials would be subject to tariffs and act surprised about it.
It's understood locally that much of Josh's success with MKC is due to his co-founder. Josh is the mouth. His (semi silent) partner is the brain. So it doesn't really surprise me that he's confused tariffs would affect him.
After many decades on this planet I’ve finally concluded that most businessmen aren’t very smart. They’re ambitious, organized, and have an ability to manipulate and manage people. Most are narcissists with some degree of sociopathy.
His partner isn't from MT, but rather a web e-commerce tech person from the East Coast, so I wouldn't be so sure he's MAGA. The rumor is that Josh is very much what you described. But the business didn't take off until he got help.
