I actually posted this at the very beginning of all this retarded tariff stuff or whatever.
Basically, the very first thing you needed, if you had a rational industrial policy, is you would collect the data structure
of what the supply chain actually is, right?
It is a graph of this supplier, right, produces, you know, these things, which is purchased by this plant, right?
And it's literally a gigantic network.
How about that, right?
And how would you get this?
Well, there's various tax reporting forms and so on that you could ask to, because it's a tax, right?
You're actually, you'd have to get this information from all these companies, format it in a certain way, and so on and so forth, right?
With this, however...
you could actually get reporting.
It wouldn't be just a stupid paper chase.
This would be something which would be strategically important.
Okay.
That's what we're talking about with the screw factory.
So it's both and.
I completely agree with you.
Well, actually, let me zoom back for a second.
In general, before I try to solve a problem, I try to get the information on the problem to understand the problem.
Sure, sure, sure.
