Take tariffs:
One of our bigger customers did their investor call and it was basically
“the recession won’t be worse than COVID, and we were fine then”

1) It can definitely be worse
2) The feds aren’t giving away thousands of dollars this time to prop up demand -- shelves will be empty

Also people will give you grace in a real emergency like Covid, but in a made-up emergency patience is not going to be people's go-to move.
