We are internalizing this.
Here's the plan.
You work with the business leaders.
You secure the property.
You give them tax.
You give them stimulus to build the factories.

And then there's the complete opposite, which is everything is terrible now, and then I'm going to slowly whittle it back, which only...

I think they showed that something like 70 or 80 percent of tariffs right now or for 2025 were absorbed by corporations because they didn't believe they were going to last long enough for it to fuck up their value delivery with their customers.
And so they were like, we're just going to eat it.
Now they're running out of those margins that can absorb all those tariffs.
