The congestion would go away if we stop buying crap made in China. Do without. It is amazing what you don’t need.
Its not that hard to stop buying chinese parts....if you have a replacement.Replacements seldom exist.
The place I work used to source all of its stuff in the US. The family had to sell the company. Someone working for the new owners got the bright idea to have Chinese makers reverse engineer a lot of the parts and supply us for half price.
That guy got a gazillion dollar bonus and retired early.
The parts have been junk ever since and sometimes we’ve had to go back to old suppliers, hat in hand, because of shortages over there.
But now, nobody can get parts, lead times are out to 4 months or more, lines are shut down, only 1 or 2 out of 6 lines are running ... People are expected to show up 48 or 50 hours a week only to sweep and clean because of shortages. People are leaving to go work other places ... it’s a hot mess.
I avoid China based items as often as possible.
