Thanks for the detailed info. This is really enlightening. In a hypothetical scenario where the fed cuts interest rates a little - say 25 bps - does that have any impact on all of this? As in, is there any chance your business - the small supplier - could potentially survive the lowering of payments by your regular buyers? What options does a small business have in such circumstances?

The answer is YES because it gives the big retailers more time. Does it fix the underlying problem? No, not really—but it buys time. Combined with good demand the big retailers can recover (or, more likely, consolidate).
