Richard and Elizabeth Uihlein

Well, this cycle, Republicans have gotten organized and are being better at like following money through the state party than to Tom Tiffany.

And it's basically three big donors, Dick and Liz Uline and Diane Hendricks.

They have not been as active with the party before, but they're getting super engaged now.

And I've asked my sources what's driving it now.

at the Milwaukee Bucks.

Yesterday, it was announced that Uline will be the new patch sponsor on the uniforms for the Milwaukee Bucks.

Yes.

If you are unfamiliar, Uline makes lots and lots and lots of cardboard boxes.

It's a multi-billion dollar company.

It also is, the owners are Dick and Liz Uline, who are the biggest, if not the biggest, one of the biggest Republican donors in the country.

And so at least some of the things I was seeing on X yesterday, lots of feedback to the Bucks making this announcement.

At least on social media, yeah.

In other countries, we've got a partner, Velo, that's a German-based company, but they have a large manufacturing presence in Wisconsin.

But when we think about employees, employee engagement, and that's something that Liz Uline cares deeply about, being able to show up in the community together, those local homegrown companies just gives you a different platform to do that.

And it's a great opportunity we have.

Well, talk to me a little bit about the economics.

But now, as we are noting, even some of those workarounds are very much at risk, and a lot of people very close to the oil industry and to global oil markets say we look like we're like moving much closer to that worst-case scenario.
