I'm gonna say it again, if you own a sawmill and you read "Literally everybody is going to have to stay home and can't spend money on anything but deliveries, groceries and home improvements" and you think this is the time to slow down because you expecte to make less money you have lucked into your sawmill ownership as a failson who doesn't understand the system it operates under.
I think you're oversimplifying it a lot but at any rate they certainly did fuck it up.
