I think that's one place where it crops up.

But another place where it crops up is especially small businesses.

just oftentimes are not operating with a ton of profit.

And in fact, I spoke with, there's a small business, Burlap and Barrel.

They are a spice importing business.

They're one of two small businesses suing the Trump administration.

They sued over the first set of tariffs and won a few hundred thousand dollars.

And now they are suing again.

So it's owned, it's co-owned by Ori Zohar and Ethan Frisch.

And so here is what Ethan said about kind of where the cost of

The tariffs lands for his company, Burlap and Barrel.

They're a spice company, so they import from dozens of countries.

Yeah.

So it's like not hiring when they would have hired someone and other things like that.

So it's hurting the U.S.

economy and, of course, hurting their business and the profits that they can make.

Well, another thing that kind of came up in the very beginning of our discussion is just all of the instability around it.

I mean, the tariffs are changing all the time.
