This is something I don't understand about modern business practices. As in, I literally do not understand. It's not an emotional response. If the work is already done, as in the design, configurations, developed skills, etc, when you have a product that would continue to sell in perpetuity, why would you not keep them in production? If it is a matter of having to set an employee or two aside just for hand cutting these stems, why not create, or dig up from history, another shape or two to create a line of pipes in this order? There's a line there where I'm meddling in how they run their business. I don't know how else to ask the questions. I'm at a loss why businesses have product that have clear demand, yet they shelf them. Maybe the finance department has to crunch some numbers and prove, or disprove, whether having another employee or two is worth it. This is also where the public gets frustrated with hearing how small businesses need more business to continue to exist, and here's a seemingly clear opportunity for said new, additional business that is being neglected.
Business in 2021 is weird. I'm asking questions, but I don't think I really want to understand it. It's interpretive dance that looks like a bunch of flailing limbs.
