Just-in-time turned into just-too-late. Optimized became overexposed. The cracks weren’t a surprise — they were the business model.
This wasn’t a shipping glitch. It was a surrender. Speed took priority over sovereignty. Scale replaced self-reliance. And chasing margins handed leverage to anyone willing to wait you out.
The rebuild starts with one decision: own what matters. Strength beats speed. Redundancy beats risk. And resilience beats everything. This isn’t about moving goods. It’s about leading with backbone.
