Good riddance to 2022. What a crazy year it was. But will 2023 be any different? It will be the same as it will be a year of many changes. But it will be different as while the changes in 2022 were mostly reactionary, most of the changes in 2023 will be prescribed, intentional or proactive. Manufacturers did an admirable (amazing) job throughout the pandemic, keeping their plants open, their people employed, and their customers supplied with the products they required or wanted.
