But first time I've had or seen any reference to this where there's actually a number that's been associated with these things. So the Tax foundation says estimates that the average American household could face an additional tax burden of over $830 a year due to these increased prices. That's the tax component of it. But I'm kind of wondering, you know, as we start seeing these impacts of these tariffs and, and even what we were talking about earlier about consumer confidence, that all trickles down into the B2B world of where things are being made and inventoried and warehoused and so forth.
