Take a look at historical data and you'll see something astonishing.
It seems that talking works! All that happens when we think we are
going after the "enemy" is **** them off. After all, it doesn't make
very good business sense at all. Think about it. What if, say, you
were making widgets and I was the sole manufacturer of the number one
component that those widgets needed to operate. Would you think I'd be
more than likely to work with you, monetarily wise if you were decent
to me, or if you ****ed me off?
You make no sense.

Probably not, to you.

The supplier of the widget part is as dependent upon the widget
manufacturer as the widget manufacturer is on the supplier of the widget
part. But, the manufacture of the widget part controls the negotiation.

JETSON!!

Of wait, that was sprockets.

Sorry.
