Parts rant

The biggest problem I see, is the companies in the supply chain won't carry inventory. It costs money to have something in stock. So the answer is to have as little as possible on hand. When this happens all down the chain, we end up the loser. I saw this in the grocery store business. Their goal is to have zero back room stock. The customer is always the one to get it up the rear. I don't think it has anything to do with covid.
