And they point out that it's not actually as simple as, okay, you have a item on your balance sheet that is the tariff payments, right?

for these companies because, for example, you know, okay, so if you were doing like FedEx, for example, they use, right?

FedEx has like a number, right?

Because they just, they pass the cost directly onto the consumers.

However, Costco didn't do that.

Costco shifted the cost around internally.

So it's actually very complicated for them to figure out how much money they paid on these tariffs because it was spread around a whole bunch of stuff.

They also like changed

the way that they were structuring deliveries and stuff internally.

And so there are a whole bunch of different lawsuits from these companies to try to get their tariff money back because a lot of these were going on before the actual formal refund process was started.

So this is another rolling catastrophe.

There's also consumer lawsuits of consumers, people who bought shit who want refunds for the tariffs because they were forced to pay the costs of it.

Now, because this is the United States of America, there's another layer of this, which is there are a whole bunch of companies where there are there are these investment firms who have come in and said, hey, we will buy the rights to your tariff money for a fraction of the money.

And we will guarantee that you get this money now.

And then we will pay ourselves with the tariff money that we got back.

So now you have investment firms who are buying up pools of this tariff money.

And I bet from spending a bunch of time last week in the trenches of the 2008 financial collapse with Molly, I bet that they're going to start selling securities based off of these pools of tariff money.

So this is going great.

Oh, my headache.
