  • Yes. By the time those come down to a per-unit cost, they’re something for sure, but nowhere near as large of a factor of cost of materials.

    Again, if we were talking a 5% cost increase in raw material input, then the ratio between additional unit cost of materials and unit cost executive salary would at least be closer. But we’re talking terriffs that are STARTING at 25% and god knows who’ll say the wrong thing to cause them to jump to 50 or 100.

    As exorbitant as they are, you are probably underestimating the volume of production and so overestimating the per-unit cost of those salaries.

    Ford, for example estimated a 25/10 teriff on steel/aluminum would add 1.6 billion to input costs in 2017. Now we’re looking at 25/25 so, I dunno, 2 billion per year (2025 dollars)

    You could cut all executive pay at Ford to 0$ and you’ll still be in the red by like 1.8 billion.







  • I’d thicken the bottom, and then have the interface have some pegs/holes to fit together like a puzzle. If you’re printing in that orientation the pegs should be unlikely to shear off. Then, lots of super glue and sand it down. As others have said, a lip underneath the interface would give you more surface for super glue as well.

    Because it’s going in your fridge, there will be inevitable spills that need cleaning. So I’d want to minimize the seam and complexity on the interior of the container.
