Disagreeing is fine. Making authority-based arguments is where the lying begins. Nowhere have I said “believe me because I’m this and that”. That’s the difference. I’m open to rational discussion.
You’re talking about something that was already done. That’s the difference. I’m talking about something you’re manufacturing now and you’re preparing to ship. You still have to anticipate how your contractors will act in an inflationary environment. For example, if you’re shipping the goods that you created and you’re paying the cost for shipping due to details required, and gas prices go up, you still have to anticipate cost going up even if you made a contract with a third party retailer to sell things after the shipping. All this also ignores the complications in big chains that fail to react fast enough to such changes.
Speaking from your butt that everything is fixed and can be anticipated is ridiculous and never realistic. If you’re selling toys in a shop, sure, your business model is super-simple. But don’t make shit up about big chains that deliver over weeks at a time and expect them to calculate everything to the latter. It’s not feasible, especially when your margins are less than 5%.
Err… “go run a business before…” “I have”… “Stop appealing to authority”
Yeah, your inventory of raw materials is already purchased. Your current freights already contracted. Most companies can raise prices lockstep with costs without going whoopsie daisy, we raised it too much.
For the last time, your claim was that even ethical businesses must xyz, now youre talking specifically about large complex operations that do not have clear controls, KPIs, supply chain and contract risk management practices. Way to shift the goal posts.
Were having two conversations here, and Im beginning to assume its by design on your part. Or… yeah… were all lying teens, youre the only one thats right.
My butts getting tired so Ill stop speaking through it.

I mean, I’m done making examples from real life and you making up bullshit. I guess Ray Dalio fixing the price for chicken nuggets is a bullshit story… I mean, McDonalds could’ve just increased the price in “lockstep” with the change in chicken nuggets prices, right? This is the stupidity of oversimplified world view that I keep seeing around here. You forget socioeconomic factors and how people respond to price changes. It’s unbelievable how you paint this naive world where it’s possible to have everything dynamic and predictable.
And I like that “most” word you used. I guess you either are conceding or just playing with words to give yourself some leeway after fucking up, since I never used a blanket statement and I only need a counterexample to be right. You see, you’re assuming that everything is contracted, but doesn’t that depend on the contract’s terms? Even if you use a futures contract there’s a risk associated with it and arbitrage will fuck you up if you make a bad bet and management will screw over whoever made that suggestion. In your little head “everything is fixed”, because it doesn’t play well with your dumb agenda of the simple cartoon world that pertains to whatever dumb communism is running in your head, like I always see on Lemmy.
