re: 50% of car dealerships and lawnmower stores to close maybe 70% nothing to sell? Sad!

I don't know if it's that drastic, but I do expect a bloodbath. We have struggled with finding a couple vehicles this year. I think the combination of inventory issues, and advances with online sales of cars, dealers are going to lose a shiat ton of share to Carvana and the like.

Restaurants can't keep this up. While there are restaurants that are doing good business, there are many here and in places we frequent that have reduced hours, remained takeout only, or face crazy wait times. A sad ding is that long waits and sub-par food due to crappy employees means that would-be repeat customers will simply not return.

Retailers are cleaning up, but the reality is the situation is fricked up. Stockrooms overflowing because they can't get it out fast enough. Messy shelves because they don't have staff. Trash/recycle that can't be picked up. Trucks that can't be received. And so on.

We had at least $5million in canceled orders this season simply because the retailers couldn't receive it.

Talking to a friend of mine at a much larger company in the same industry, they have lost over $100 million this season in canceled orders.
