We're I'm at, we pass tariffs down the line, and so do our customers. No way in hell we're eating that cost in this environment. And eventually, it's the end consumer who picks up the tab. Who actually paid the initial tariff duty is irrelevant. If we did simply count it as additional cost of sales and flushed it to our bottom line, well, there's goes some headcount we can't afford and capex we can't afford either. Do you think there's some economic impact from THAT?! Jebbers.

Speaking of getting on one's nerves.
