We just noticed our first invoice had a tariff line on it.

I'm a small manufacturer in Georgia, and I produce machinery.

So I have to purchase. I have to place my order. And then when I place my order, they'll let me know what my tariff fee is.

I don't know. It's uncertainty. And, you know, with uncertainty also goes we ship all over the world. So if there's additional tariffs put on my machinery to export, that's going to be very painful.

We do benefit from manufacturers that say, I want to buy American-made machinery. There's just so much unknown right now, and I think that's the most difficult thing to make decisions for your company financially when you just don't know all the pieces of the puzzle.

I think the glass is half full, and I've taken a few sips.
