as the SEC makes everyone say, ‘past performance is no guarantee of future earnings.’ It would probably be foolish to believe that we can recover from logistics disruptions nearly as easily as we once could.
It’s definitely part of the inflation problem right now. I used to fly on demand auto parts for the big 3 in the 90’s. Carpet, screws, door handles. Almost nothing was warehoused. Just in time is a problem when everything stops and there’s nothing already made apparently. Who knew? Lol.
