okay you know um i think it's still a and and i could be wrong i'm not a political pundit in any way yeah i think it was posturing for negotiation reasons you know i tell everybody we're going to charge the hell out of you and then you'll come to the table that's the theory that that's right or wrong i don't make a you know i don't make a comment on that but yeah

Well, I will say that when all of it came through, I went and looked at the list of who has the president's list of who's getting tariffs and for what.

And I have to admit that I feel like I'm pretty darn good at geography.

Yeah.

And I had no idea of where the Falkland Islands were.

Where is that?

I don't even know.

I had no idea that we traded with them.

Yeah.

And then there was another, I had no idea that there was another small country off the coast of Madagascar, off the coast of Africa that we also trade with.

Is that Seychelles?

uh what country it might be uh and i had to i had to look it up and i was like why are they at a 200 i think and i'm guessing what it was 200 tariff and i was like oh because we don't send anything their direction it's a you know sort of like and i was just like i thought i was really good at uh geography and there were a couple countries that i was like number one i didn't know that country existed number two i have no idea where it is

Well, and if you go beyond just regular run-of-the-mill hardware store fasteners, when you start getting into things like exterior insulation and you go to something that's longer than four or five inches, if you go to, say, a 10-inch long screw for fastening exterior insulation, okay, well, now we're $8 a fastener.

And you put 100% tariff on it.

It is October 16th, 17th, and 18th.
