"Did anyone anticipate in the spring that Covid would shut down the planet?"
covid didnt shut down the planet....but vietnam DID shut itself down to foreigners...
anticipate?....there was no anticipation needed...it all started happening by the springtime...and there was PLENTY of warnings before then...Dr Fauchi and plenty of others told everyone what was coming way before the spring...
things were well into being shut down by March...the WHO was way late in pronouncing the virus as a pandemic...but the did so on March 19...
In March, Vietnam began closing its borders and stopped issuing visas to all foreigners...
"That Vietnam would close their borders?"
many saw it coming well before spring...yes...and anyone doing business in Vietnam should have seen it coming before the spring...absolutely...
it was very clear, very early on that Vietnam was prepared to take drastic measures swiftly...they closed all their schools back in Jan...
so yea...kim should have seen it coming...and with the presence he had in Vietnam and the importance of that country to the business, he should have been all over it...its not like the Vietnam gov was being secretive...they made no bones about how seriously they were taking the pandemic and it was quite evident the lengths they were willing to go in dealing with it...
"That importing GMOs during a global pandemic might create some unforeseen challenges?"
the answer to that question is HELL YES...kim should have a pretty damn good idea about how things were headed since Jan...
"I realize many here were clairvoyant enough to foresee how it would unfold"
no one needed the ability of prescience...not when it was happening right in front of your face...when you can see the dominos falling one by one...when all the experts were telling you that this was just the beginning and things were going to get a lot worse...
one needs clairvoyance in that situation?...lol
"but can also recognize not everything related to production is within the company’s control presently."
only because they LOST control to begin with...kim never tells anyone what is going on..but when i heard in Dec that production failed and he had used every egg, i made the silly assumption that kim would simply send more eggs...IMMEDIATELY!...why not?...why delay?...why wait?...
kim could have sent eggs in Dec, Jan, Feb and early March...but apparently he didnt...why not?....again, i assumed of course, that he had and just was not telling anyone...and from the postings here at that time, it seems almost everyone was assuming the same thing...
but then i hear he didnt and that there were ZERO eggs in vietnam!...smh..
the failure to send the most important ingredient to vietnam has of course, ground production to a complete halt...so yea:
"not everything related to production is within the company’s control PRESENTLY."
no it sure as hell isnt...but it sure as hell should be...if kim had shipped eggs to vietnam, prodigy would be at tonnage by now...instead the workers are all sitting around watching reruns of HE-Man cartoons...
"The USA wasn’t ready but KBLB should have been"
EXACTLY RIGHT...
