Recent events in the world of politics made me do some thinking about the difficulty of entering into a negotiation with the supplier of a product that you really need. I generally prefer a more equal footing where the supplier is at least as motivated as I am to strike an equitable deal.
If you want to read an expansion on that line of thinking, please visit my post on Red Green and Blue titled Addiction to Oil is not a Good Negotiation Position.
Please understand that I have to engage in a little restraint on this particular topic because of my day job responsibilities.
