And we should also spread out where things are manufactured so a disaster in one area does not have a disproportionate impact on our supply.
I have occasionally compared it to using a couple of huge container ships as opposed to a flotilla of smaller ships.
If you lose one of the container ships you are in a world of hurt but if you lose even a half dozen of the small ships you can adjust more easily.
But I am one of those people who is risk adverse.
Or learn from the Irish Potato Famine.
Grow only ONE crop, and if something happens to it, you’re screwed.
You’re absolutely right. Spread manufacturing out and you build a lot of resilience into the system. Not to mention, jobs in various places.
