Bright: This is the first time in my life that i can remember the supply chain not being, you know, a golden god that cannot be touched. It changes the entire dynamic of where your leverage is and what it means to use it.

Suddenly, the supply chain is like, maybe it won't keep going, or maybe it won’t work," Bright says.
