What a mess.
Also, 97% of our antibiotics come from China.

To what end have our Woke industry leaders brought us?

Our Country desperately needs a new form of capitalistic activism. And every #ing Woke CEO should be kicked to the curb.

Let’s see

Cars worked better before a computer chips

Ovens worked better before computer chips

Pretty much everything can run without computer chips

I just spent two years inspecting rebar and concrete at the 3rd phase gigantic INTEL microchip prototype factory (over a million square feet of building

had to wear a mask the whole time after the globalist pandemic extortion racket started.

the place is bizarre like a soyent green factory, why would the need a factory that is larger than most small cities I'd ask myself .... then it became clear, microchips mean monitoring and absolute control, with enough microchips and programming humans to be obedient and wear masks they could definitly defund the police

America (treasonous politicians) sold out to Chicoms. Rather disgusting. America can’t seem to do anything right anymore.

Don’t neglect maintenance on older vehicles right now.

Well, the guy that was in the White House this time last year had been trying to do things about this and other deficiencies in the supply chain and manufacturing processes.

But you know, lots of government hacks and corrupt POSs in state governments did as they were told or paid to do and helped in getting rid of him.

Hope all the liberal hipsters won’t get mad when they can’t get new MacBooks.

No mean tweets.

One shortage we DON’T have is a shortage of corrupt politicians.

The US once was the world leader. Our tech companies were founded by engineers not "venture capitalists". Intel, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard are examples of our former engineering glory.

As the founders aged out, the MBAs latched on like lampreys. They started liquidating and exporting our tech overseas. Today so called "Business People" know nothing about the technology, and only focus on spreadsheets and "market conditions". They are globalists playing their slots.

Not going to get any better, and not just for chips. A few weeks ago the Biden administration talked lithium battery production in the U.S., particularly in relation to electric cars.

In a move to appease environmentalists, Biden spokesmen said the administration was opposed to mining lithium in the U.S. and instead intended to import lithium from other countries. This is just going to make the U.S. dependent on foreign countries for lithium, and as we see with computer chips, it will be a recipe for disaster.

Taiwan and South Korea collectively have 81 percent of the global market in foundries.

A coordinated takeover of Taiwan by China and a takeover of SK by NK would certainly accelerate the SHTF meter.

We had a hard time buying a new SUV to tow our new RV, but we found one.

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.

There have been articles about used car prices increasing due to chip shortages. My neighbor just traded in his motor home. A year ago it had a value of $35,000. Today’s trade-in value for his motor home was $70,000.

Folks, semiconductors are great BUT they don’t work without electricity. An EMP would not only crash our electric grid, it would fry virtually every semiconductor.

If such an invasion (of Taiwan) were successful, Communist China would have de facto control of TSMC?

I said this a year ago. This ain’t rocket science, but you can’t fix stupid.

Looks like my strategy to drive old chipless vehicles (1957 Bel Air, 1967 Camaro and 1948 Chevy pickup) is about to bear fruit.

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.
