GOP Congressman: Pearl Harbor was bombed on December 7th, 1941. Do you know how long it took for the US to have its first major victory of WWII in the Pacific? Hegseth: A number of years. GOP Congressman: No. It was actually 6 months.


On Friday my resin distributor said that given supply chain issues they may not be able to honor a purchase order for 250k pounds of resin in early March (mix of railcar and bulk trucks) in that pricing may need to be significantly higher. As an adult man with 2 decades of work in both Wall Street and now business ownership, I have built scar tissue to handle what would be close to a six figure higher cost than what was agreed. One must negotiate calmly and with confidence right? How did I handle it? Extreme Korean rage. Loud noises. Many nasty emails. Nasty texts. More loud noises. Calls over the weekend. Threats to never do business with them again. More loud noises. Today they agreed to honor the purchase order from early March. What did I learn? I don’t know but being told that a purchase order from early March may cost close to 6 figures more is not how I like to update my 13 week cash flow model.
