And and finally, we we still expect Trump, right? to impose tariffs on chips as well. What what does that mean for tech products looking ahead?
00:12 Speaker B
Yeah, I mean they could get more expensive. Uh what the the issue here is, it’s going to be on the semiconductor, not the product itself. Depends on how they lay this out, but there’s a lot of semiconductors inside your phone, your computer, you have a chip for your modem, a chip, you know, CPU, you have GPUs and some computers, memory chips. So it depends on how this is all laid out. Uh the long and short of it is, they travel in so many in and out of different countries from their start to finish these these semiconductors. If you’re hitting it every time it goes through a border, that’s a big deal. And then if you hit it afterwards, uh uh when it’s a finished product, that’s an even bigger problem. It’s either going to go to, you know, the the semiconductor makers, the device makers, the stores, or us. And so there’s there’s going to be a lot of kind of back and forth, but this is a lot more complicated than, you know, putting a a tariff on, you know, French wine. This is a multi-step process that’s multiple borders. Uh and so it’ll be interesting to see how this kind of all shakes out. I just don’t want my my video games to be more expensive, so.

No, no, none of us want that, Dan.
