If you have no other choice, should there potentially be carve-outs where it's like, hey, this steel is tariffed because, hey, bridge builder guy, you can buy that same steel over here in Pennsylvania. But hey, knife industry, we understand you have no other option for steel. So we understand you need that for your industry to survive and your customers and whatnot.

We don't want to jack up your prices 25%. So we're going to carve that out and make that un-tariffed. You know, I think that's the nuances of what Trump's doing right now. And I think they're well aware of it and they've said it, Musk has said it like, we're gonna break some shit and then we're gonna figure out what we broke and then try to fix it.

So that I'm trying to figure out how we might be involved in the try to fix it part where it's like, hey, here's what's happening. Can we fix this part of that policy?

Yeah. Yeah. It just, what I'm glad is that they are doing something. It's the first time in my adult life I've seen our government at least appear to be trying to fix something. you know, our deficit issue, frankly, our national debt, like what are we passing on to our children?

And I think we've all known, or we should know that if we're going to fix that deficit issue, then probably everybody will suffer in some way. Maybe it's tariffs on MKC steel, or maybe it's tariffs on coffee coming in for black rifle coffee. Maybe it's your trail crew, your kid that's on trail crew loses his job. Like, I'm not sure that anyone's going to come out of this unaffected.
