your supply chain doesn't work properly, you don't do business. It's not that, that you do it at a less cost. No, you don't do it anymore, business. And then it's enough a vessel in the canal that is blocking the canal to make your shelf being empty for 3 months or even for a month and having congestion in the port for, for other 3 months. So something happened that is clearly changing the approach that we as a supply chain professional needs to have to risk mitigation.
