00:03Oh
00:31Years ago, I had a set goal. I wanted my company to at least make $100,000, and I will
00:37be satisfied.
00:38Well, with this war going on and with everything that we have going on in politics, $100,000 is not
00:45enough.
00:45We're still underwater. We're still struggling. We're still trying to make ends meet.
00:50With my husband and myself bringing in $140,000 combined, it is not enough. It's not enough.
01:09Can I get a metal container?
01:13Everything is going up. Groceries, everything.
01:17And I just want to be one of those business owners that's able to give back, able to be fair
01:24and even around the board.
01:25And sometimes it does seem like it's a war as far as the customers, because they'll see things, and they
01:33may want it, but of course, they can't get it.
01:36You know, something that they can afford, like last year, maybe two years ago, they can't really afford it now.
01:57The cost of everything that we do is going up.
02:01The income for everything that we do is going down.
02:05You know, and just availability of stuff is also getting to be a challenge.
02:10And then I've got so many friends that I've got, you know, customers who can't afford to shop at this
02:16anymore.
02:16I've got farmer friends who've gone bankrupt.
02:19You like that one?
02:20Yes.
02:29Yeah, it's starting to slow down now, but...
02:34What are we getting?
02:35You know, we're ruining our position in the world.
02:37We're being the bad guys.
02:38We're ruining the world economy, and we're gaining nothing.
02:58The war with Iran, dude, like the ceasefire, like the ceasefire right now, but like I feel like that's just
03:03like the biggest topic of conversation.
03:05Like, I did a market last week in South Bend, and that's what a lot of people were talking about.
03:11Like, is it going to keep going?
03:13Is it going to stop?
03:14Like, what's going on?
03:15Like, what are we doing?
03:18These are better.
03:20They're kind of like yellow on the inside.
03:21So when they all open up, they look really great.
03:23It looks nice to me.
03:26I appreciate it.
03:28You guys have a great rest of your day.
03:30Good to see you.
03:31Thanks for having me.
03:33My wife and I probably talk about it quite often.
03:36Obviously, disapproval, much so, you know.
03:39Obviously, it doesn't seem like a great thing.
03:42You know, never seems to be good, great for the economy.
03:45It seems good for the high-ups, the billionaires, people making more money than they should be, probably.
03:51But as, like, a low man on the totem pole, I'll say, you know, like, it's just like, why?
03:56We don't need this, you know.
03:58It's supposed to be for us, you know, for our people, you know, here in America.
04:01Like, try to do more.
04:02There's so much more we could do, you know.
04:03You see how much they spend, like, in the first week.
04:06And you're like, and we had to cut Medicaid stuff for that.
04:25I think it's dumb, to be honest.
04:27Like, there's so many ways, diplomatic ways, that we can ease the situations.
04:31But I feel like there are, you know, a lot of the politicians are acting like big kids, you know.
04:39We can use their words to kind of find a settle, you know, think more about the people than their
04:46personal gain.
04:57I would, like, watch news and be on social media.
05:00But I give myself a moment to cut that time off.
05:04Because I also need to live and enjoy my life at the current presence.
05:09So, I guess it's just, like, you know how work-life balance is the same thing with social media presence.
05:15I want to know, but I also need a break.
05:20My parents taught me, you know, from the time I was a kid, you know, follow the news.
05:25You know, that was, like, you know, part of your obligation.
05:28You know, I know other people aren't like that.
05:30But, you know, I am.
05:32You know, so, yeah, you know, I've always been the kind of person who, you know, reads the paper every
05:38day.
05:49I don't drive myself, but, I mean, like, I went by the, you know, I've noticed these things.
05:58Like, I think about even two weeks ago, it was $3.50 a gallon.
06:03And a couple of days ago, it was $4.19.
06:07So, it's, yeah, you know, I mean, and according to people who know about these things,
06:14even if they open up the straight tomorrow, you know, there's going to be such a backlog.
06:19You know, it's not like they open the straight and prices go down right away.
06:29It's good.
