‘There is NOTHING they can do to produce more. ‘

Thats false. There’s a lot that can be done and at least one firm has reportedly acquired extra mfg space and machinery. We can also import more from extra capacity abroad. The article incorrectly sees the situation as static.

You are correct, of course. What the person should have said, was "There is nothing that a prudent firm can do to increase domestic supply quickly enough to make a significant difference."

That would have been more factual, even if a bit wordy.

It is a good idea to never use absolutes such as "nothing" "everything" "always" "never" and forever, in ordinary discourse. They should be reserved for religious topics.
