Watch as Krugman and the rest of the Media Wing of the DNC saddle on this as a good thing because it indicates a Biden-led economic boom.

What did they think would happen when they shut down the economy due to Covid and Orange Man Bad?

suppliers would just sit around forever and wait for our government apparatchiks to turn things back on without making any adjustments?

You know this is a LIE.

If the automobile industry really shut down, they would be celebrating. They have been trying to shut it down for decades.

HOW are they going to "convert to electric cars" with no chips for THEM, either?? That was MY point.

Last year, they shut down for MONTHS because of COVID and are now wondering why there is no supply?

Not just China, domestic also.

Christmas is going to bare this year.

I thought PDJT solved this with a MAJOR CHIP SET MANUFACTURE Taiwanese Company agreeing to set up in the USA.

Biden probably cancelled as he did with everything else.

This might explain why ball bearing production has
fallen off. My neighbor works at one and they were
surprised by it.
