Right, you're only considering what the middle men are asking for

2020-04-03 17:02:35 UTC  

@honkhonk $5000 in a week? jesus

2020-04-03 17:02:37 UTC  

the distributor is himself a customer of the supplier upstream

2020-04-03 17:02:49 UTC  

I wanna compare last week of march 2019, Hollywood VS Streaming

2020-04-03 17:02:56 UTC  

to last week of march 2020 hollywood and streaming

2020-04-03 17:03:02 UTC  

I know what it'll look like but I'm curious

2020-04-03 17:03:49 UTC  

the key point to realize is the from the customers perspective, they see the entire supply chain as a single entity. The reality is that their interface has VERY different incentives than each entity along that supply chain

2020-04-03 17:04:55 UTC  

in modern companies, there is a similar interface between those that provide the product AND those in the marketing departments that dictate 'what will sell', supposedly based on what they feel the market wants

She's hardly crazy

2020-04-03 17:05:45 UTC

2020-04-03 17:05:49 UTC  

the fuck do you think a leftist is

2020-04-03 17:06:14 UTC  

also voting Democrat is already insane

2020-04-03 17:06:23 UTC  

socialism is just beyond that

2020-04-03 17:06:26 UTC  

like damn

2020-04-03 17:06:38 UTC  

I will say that during my run with Dollar General, corporate dictated every shelf to the nanometer, and on average, their decisions were almost prophetic

2020-04-03 17:07:14 UTC  

shoe is kinda cringe ngl

2020-04-03 17:07:37 UTC  

Companies either had their product move off the shelf at exactly the rate we stocked at or else had to clearly overspend by a huge margin in product placement auctions

2020-04-03 17:07:40 UTC  

additionally, it's the echo chambers on both sides that prevent suppliers from being able to realize that it isn't what THEY want which should drive their efforts, but the 'needs/want's of their Customers. in a similar fashion to the left, many in open source focus on products THEY think are useful while dismissing the wants of those willing to pay for somethig

2020-04-03 17:08:12 UTC  

yeah, i think most corporations are run that way @Hexidecimark

2020-04-03 17:08:38 UTC  

Probably, but I don't want to say for sure off my own anecdote

2020-04-03 17:09:05 UTC  

it has advantages in some areas, BUT it's deteremential in others, especially when it comes to realizing that a demand trend that was there yesterday, is now gone

2020-04-03 17:09:52 UTC  

Which is why the hours were so tight

2020-04-03 17:10:06 UTC  

they had to manage failure overheads

2020-04-03 17:10:27 UTC  

on the supply side, if your device isn't put together just right, it doesn't function. but anticipation of demand is FAR less a science and more of an art

2020-04-03 17:11:37 UTC  

well, if you think along the tokenization idea, ANY inventory and overhead is a 'blockage' of the path at which incentive from consumer willing to pay flows to the supplier, willing to provide

2020-04-03 17:12:40 UTC  

it commits resources to a demand that you aren't quite sure will still exist by the time a unit is ready for sale

2020-04-03 17:13:45 UTC  

more than that, it commits resource to a demand that was ANTICIPATED by your distributorm which might not even BE a real demand

2020-04-03 17:16:14 UTC  

Indias about to get it STINKING

2020-04-03 17:16:31 UTC  

the notion that 'incentive' can be thought of as a 'token' exchanged between a SINGLE set of consumers and suppliers with COMMON stake, really illuminates why the current economic system is suffering

2020-04-03 17:16:43 UTC  

implying it doesnt already overwhelmingly stink of shit

2020-04-03 17:17:37 UTC  

That's also where stability comes in

2020-04-03 17:17:45 UTC  

exactly

2020-04-03 17:18:01 UTC  

More stable environments allow more reliable predictions allow more complicated operations with more middlemen
