"People honestly do NOT understand how this works on any level. We have become an “immediate, right now” society and as a result the general populace has no concept of time scale for things like manufacturing, food production, etc. None of this shit happens overnight, and most manufacturers and producers will try slightly overproduce or keep a minimum of excess supplies on hand in case of a minor disruption to supply lines - but once that handful of emergency supplies or parts is gone? THAT is when you find out how absolutely fucked you are."

"Pausing a handful of tariffs for a month or so will make zero difference. Large scale manufacturing plans out months and years in advance and a 30 day grace period means nothing to someone who is now looking at a possible fifty percent or more, who knows increase on a multi-million dollar contract a year down the line. It’s the instability and lack of logic that will kill so many businesses."

Nah, there’s an eely quality to every conversation with an addict, a quality that remains long after becoming clean, but this persistent defense of the false reality isn’t that. An addict can be interpreted as someone infected with a dark passenger that hunts the next fix, with a narcissist there is no such separation. No empathy. No deviance. This is who and what they are while the addict can wrest control back for themselves.

The other difference is an addict can read a room. Again, another life skill that persists long after getting clean.

Of note, there’s nothing wrong with the toolbox carried by former addicts, depending on how they choose to use that toolbox going forward.
