And I think it's just a reminder that it remains kind of a balancing act for this economy.

We are concerned about slowdowns.

We're also still concerned about inflation being, you know, stickier.

I'm also now concerned about this toddler on a sugar high that Heather was mentioning.

Parents all know that doesn't end well, right?

But in terms of where tariffs will go and the impact on prices, we've kind of been getting mixed reports.

I mean, you do see some analysts say that most of the tariff increases have been priced in by companies.

They were really concerned about the consumer market being too fragile and whether consumers would put up with price increases.

But in the meantime, they've been having to deal with having their profit margins compressed, having less money to invest in new plants and employees.

So that situation isn't sustainable forever.
