Not necessarily things that aren't coming back, but things that will change.
Businesses of all sizes not holding much inventory.
Especially smaller places.
There used to be a fair number of small bicycle shops that were more boutiques than anything else. They had their niche, and did it in shop spaces that were often very small. They seldom had a lot of anything in stock, and what they had was all very upper end type stuff. Like maybe 5 bikes all at around 10K, and a handful of the pricy parts that go on them.
With the supply chain problems, they quickly ran out of stuff to sell, and ran out of parts to service the bikes. Nearly all of them are already gone.
Far worse than the card shops washing out because the 94-5 strike pushed the ones without cash reserves that were poorly run over the edge.
