Well, the tariffs have been disastrous for the folks upstream in the economy…even if you're an American manufacturer…you got thousands of suppliers, and some of those have to be international, and folks are scrambling to try and reconfigure those supply chains. One of the problems is the fed can't manage supply-based inflation, they can only deal with demand-based inflation, which is that far downstream kind…and so as we see degradation of the upstream part of the supply chain, eventually that will roll through and affect the consumer.
