I mean, this is standard negotiating. This is how you do business, you know? I mean, and I can't remember which president it was. I was reading yesterday. I want to... Don't quote me. I want to say James Madison, but... there was a president that eliminated our national debt in one of basically the top three things he did was tariffs.

No, and if it was the other side, they would definitely say, oh, well, this is obviously from the last administration. Exactly. And I know we've said this before, like you can't turn a ship on a dime. And I think what pops in my head was obviously a gym, you know, comparison of like, you just get back in the gym and you work out for the first time.

You're going to be sore a little bit before you start seeing the results and the gains and the positive progress. So in my mind, Actions are being taken one where previously it seemed not much was getting done at all. Actions are being taken. You know, we're tossing the rock in the pond. The ripples are going out and we're going to see, you know, what breaks on the shoreline essentially.

But I think from a business owner standpoint, you can relate. We've been in this where you're negotiating, you're trying to work a deal. It can take weeks, you know, just to get the agreement set in place. And then it can take weeks to actually start seeing the changes happen and the results come in, right? So I think everyone would love a very quick fix.

You know, we'd love inflation to go down, housing be more affordable, groceries to go back down. But like you said, dude, we're not even in the first quarter yet. We just popped the top on this. Exactly.

Yeah. And I had a call earlier today with a buddy of mine in the mortgage real estate business. And he actually is putting an offer on a house himself and, He's like, I'm not going to lie, man. He goes, that monthly payment, like I had sticker shock just because the interest rates right now. And he's in the business. He knows what he's doing, you know?

So kind of the same sentiment is like, I know we all want to rush to fix things, but right now we kind of just need to sit and know like, you know, the cruise ship is slowly turning, right? Yeah. We don't feel it. We don't see it, but it's... Still doing it. Right. So it's kind of just... We just got to hold on tight, man. We're still in the trenches. We're climbing up peaks and valleys, you know?
