Original quoteI just think the American consumer has been hammered twice. COVID was a total disaster, and now gas prices which today I just looked four dollars a gallon on average. That seems to be the status quo. Because I was reading in the Wall Street Journal, we didn't get to this with Trita, that the Trump administration seems to think that they can live in this this status quo with Iran, this like we're you know, no war, no peace because gas is quote only four dollars a gallon, which we both know is just so devastating, not just for the inputs of everything that needs to be trucked, etc. Like all that, but really it just just eats away at any of the disposable income that people have. And it's about to get cold. So when it get cold, demanded all that stuff, it's going to go up hurricane season. That's all you need, and then next thing you are looking five dollars.
