a manufacturing company decided to change their payments on invoices from 30 to 90 days - because everyone is doing it. Their vendors refused to do business with them,

My nephew repairs/replaces transmissions in huge equipment. He now makes a practice of holding repaired equipment until payment is in hand - that includes the US Army!!

Things have become very adversarial - which costs even more.
