A manufacturer explains how tariffs get passed down the supply chain to distributors and customers, sometimes hidden in price increases and sometimes as explicit line items. Distributors and contractors often demand a cut of any tariff recoveries from the manufacturer.
There's specifically and this is this is what's so intriguing about this. And man, I know 10 minutes ago probably we said we were going to get off of this, but this is what's so intriguing to me. Right. Because with this is we talked about with and it might even have been Paul as a guest but or one of our guests we talked about when a manufacturer pays those tariffs, how do they pass them along? Is it a price increase without an explanation? Is it a line item that says economic adjustment or tariffs paid? If it's a line item that says tariffs paid, if I'm a distributor, I'm going back to that manufacturer and saying, hey, I had my legal team run a nexus search and see that you're suing and I want part of your recovery. Now, if I'm a half a billion dollar, your contractor that buys from XYZ Distributor, I should be doing the same thing that's saying, are my vendors out trying to recover? Because then I want something back. Right. So Paul's point is good.
