Can you elaborate on this? Just In Time delivery? Is this a US thing?
Edit: okay, I looked it up and I understand it now. The ripple effect already happened though when big box stores told Trump to fuck off with the tariffs, because their shelves are empty.
Yeah, put super simply:
Minimize needed actual storage space and time a thing spends in storage... by relying on very frequent and consistent logistics.
Its very efficient in the sense of minimizing operating costs...
But it is also extremely fragile, a minor perturbation can fuck shit up for weeks or months.
... And we are getting... well basically the most major disruption in the history of JIT as a logistics paradigm.
Really thought we would have learned that JIT is a horrible strategy after covid... That was only a few years ago...
America follows Seinfeld rules:

No learning.
... Larry David is even writing poignant political satire pieces just right in the New York Times now!
There was an episode of Comedians in Cars like a decade ago now, Jerry just muses something like... God, is NYC just gonna be nothing but corporate coffee shops and banks?
Yes. Yep. That is what happened.
