>A hat store is non-essential.

And then 3 months later you find out that all of your food supply workers sourced their hats from the hat store and they can't hire more workers because the hat store went out of business. Where did the store get the hats from? Who knows?

Obviously this is a contrived example but just the other day we heard that a flour supplier can't supply enough flour because they don't have enough bags.

Also, the hat store was started by a small group of local investors, one of whom was the general manager at the food supply company.

Now he has to go through bankruptcy because he was accustomed to the income the hat store generated, so he's decided take a job in a different town where cost of living is lower and the position is lower stress.
