And refrigerators!
Looks like my strategy to drive old chipless vehicles (1957 Bel Air, 1967 Camaro and 1948 Chevy pickup) is about to bear fruit.
Excellent input.
I have a 2017 and a 1993 truck. I drive the 1993 every day...it has 257,000 miles on it.
Depending on how you define better, of course.
Back in 1950s, you’d be lucky to get 50k out of a car. Today 200k is not uncommon. How’s that flat screen tv workin for ya? Want that black and white 200 lb CRT back?
So, the USA used to make a lot of computer chips.
What’s stopping the USA from making them now?
We are in such deep trouble!!
I am stocking up on vitamins and minerals.
Wonder if I should buy a new computer now or wait until next year. Nothing fancy just need it for spreadsheets and some simple online reading, emailing.

Hmmmmm.....I wonder if they are stocking up on computer chips for another use? (See Revelation chapter 13)
And we just made a gift of the only accessible deposit of rare earths outside of China to China. The other one is in Greenland and are about to turn our backs on the major chip supplier, Taiwan, to let China overrun it. Soon China will be in a position to cut off our tech development and popular access to electronics and the Democrats will have given it all to China.

Tesla's still able to build and sell cars, Apple's got its supply chain nailed down, meanwhile the other domestic auto manufacturers are having trouble delivering product, and LG dropped its phone line last year.
Make woke chips! Make woke chips!
Guess I won't be buying for a while.
I agree!
Trump won.
The election was stolen.
Republicans helped Democrats steal it.
TSMC is building a $12B factory in Arizona and plans to build more factories there. The first one should be in operation by 2024.
“ We were going to sell my Lexus Sedan, but I think we should keep it. We have 3 adult kids. I’m thinking between the 5 of us, one of our cars will have a problem and it might be good just to keep our Lexus.”
Before I bought an electric Mustang SUV we had, and still have, 3 gasoline cars. My wife thought I was nuts to have 4 cars, though there were real tax and economic reasons to add the electric one and keep the other, mostly high mileage vehicles.
2 adult kids were borrowing a car each as one of theirs was in the shop and when one of ours required service we were down to one.
She doesn’t think I’m quite as nuts anymore.
I don’t believe any of this
for reasons unknown.
car companies don’t want to be
in the car business
3.2.1. Trump’s fault!
