Depends on the type of business, what can or cannot be locked in, lead times, market conditions, etc... For example in the O&G markets we occasionally see the legal force majere implemented which effectively nullifies existing contracts. Seems many companies and their workers are ok with that but when it's personal it's harder to take. I get it. In these examples it feels like the end-user customer feels they're getting shafted, but don't consider that the local store/seller gets shafted more (like what Sliver is trying patiently to get us all to understand) to the extent that it could mean end of the business.
