    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 hugging.

        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.
