Well said Bret - One problem I see is not everyone in business has your positive outlook and confidence in the economy. I can understand why especially if one spends vest time watching/reading/listening to the media. It's somewhat of a gamble and many are not gamblers. So whether it's raw materials, fasteners, specialty components, or man-power the trickle-down effect can be broad. Without in-depth advanced planning to anticipate potential weak links and reliable alternates within one's supply chain someone with good intentions can get behind the eight-ball fast.

Delays related to funding or freight in this day and age are not a viable excuse like they used to be.

Keep up the good work and best of luck.
