and the reason i am surprised is because i am working with clients right now that used the term "very well" to describe their status, and they are placing more and more orders, I doubt theyd be ordering more this year than last year if that wasnt the case.... so yeah, I dont believe that anyone who says they are doing well is lying, which is why i quoted you. its simply not the case across the board
but i hope everyone is doing good including you
ps: i see what you meant by context, i post fast man, im not reading every word on this forum lol
